Why hydrated CuSO4 is blue while anhydrous CuSO4 is white??​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - water acts as a ligand that splits d orbitals.

Explanation:

Hydrated CuSO4 has a central metal (Cu) surrounded by the water molecules, here water molecules play a role of the ligands that causes the splitting of d-orbitals. This splitting brings d-d transition and emits the blue color of Cu in the visible light.

Anhydrous CuSO4 on other hand is colorless due to the lack of molecules of ligand that makes splitting of d orbitals impossible so no transition of d-d orbitals takes place and no emission of color.

If 12.1 kilograms of al2o3(s), 60.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 60.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cr
Fynjy0 [20]
Answer is: 7,826 kg of cryolite.
Chemical reaction: Al₂O₃ + 6NaOH + 12HF → 2Na₃AlF₆ + 9H₂<span>O.
m(</span>Al₂O₃) = 12,1 kg = 12100 g.
n(Al₂O₃) = m(Al₂O₃) ÷ M(Al₂O₃).
n(Al₂O₃) = 12100 g ÷ 101,96 g/mol = 111,86 mol; limiting reactant.
m(NaOH) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(NaOH) = 60400 g ÷ 40 g/mol.
n(NaOH) = 1510 mol.
m(HF) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(HF) = 60400 g ÷ 20 g/mol = 3020 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Al₂O₃) : n(Na₃AlF₆) = 6 : 2.
n(Na₃AlF₆) = 2 ·111,86 mol ÷ 6 = 37,28 mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 37,28 mol · 209,94 g/mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 7826,56 g = 7,826 kg.
