Answer:
can only be determined experimentally.
Explanation:
In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.
These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.
Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.
Answer:
3.47 ×10^-10
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is 2Cr3+(aq) + Pb(s)------->2Cr2+(aq) + Pb2+(aq)
A total of two moles of electrons were transferred in the process. The chromium was reduced while the lead was oxidized. Hence the lead species will constitute the oxidation half equation and the chromium will constitute the reduction half equation.
E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode = -0.41 V
E°anode = -0.13 V
E°cell = -0.41 -(-0.13) = -0.28 V
From
E°cell = 0.0592/n log K
n= 2, K= the unknown
-0.28 = 0.0592/2 log K
log K = -0.28/0.0296
log K = -9.4595
K = Antilog ( -9.4595)
K= 3.47 ×10^-10
