Answer:
CN^- is a strong field ligand
Explanation:
The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).
Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.
Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.
The equilibrium constant, k of the reaction in which case, the concentrations of the given reactants and products are as indicated is; Choice A; K = 3.1 x 10⁵
<h3>What is the equilibrium constant , k of the reaction as described in the task content?</h3>
It follows from above that the concentrations of the reactants and products are as follows; [H2] = 0.10 M, [N2] = 0.10 M, and [NH3] = 5.6 M at equilibrium.
Hence, the equilibrium constant of the reaction in discuss is;
K = [5.6]²/[0.10]³[0.10]
k = 5.6² × 10⁴
k = 3.136 × 10⁵
K = 3.1 × 10⁵.
