Answer:

Ni^2+ is most likely

Ti^3+ is very unlikely

Explanation:

The Crystal Field Stabilization Energy almost always favors octahedral over tetrahedral in very many cases, but the degree of this favorability varies with the electronic configuration. In other words, for d1 there is only a small gap between the octahedral and tetrahedral lines, whereas at d3 and d8 is a very big gap. However, for d0, d5 high spin and d10, there is no crystal field stabilization energy difference between octahedral and tetrahedral. The ordering of favorability of octahedral over tetrahedral is:

d3, d8 > d4, d9> d2, d7 > d1, d6 > d0, d5, d10. This explains the answer choices above.

Ti^3+ being a d1 specie is least likely to exist in octahedral shape while Ni2+ a d8 specie is more likely to exist in octahedral shape.

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?

sukhopar [10]

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL of 0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

pka = 8.3

0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴ $8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}$

<em> </em>inverse log 0 = $\frac{[B]}{[A]}$

$\frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1$

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

pka = 8.3

0.003 mol of HCL.

$pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69$
