The energy containing electron transporters of FADH2 are not produced during glycolysis.
Answer:
Basically, paramagnetic and diamagnetic refer to the way a chemical species interacts with a magnetic field. More specifically, it refers to whether or not a chemical species has any unpaired electrons or not.
A diamagnetic species has no unpaired electrons, while a paramagnetic species has one or more unpaired electrons.
Now, I won't go into too much detail about crystal field theory in general, since I assume that you're familiar with it.
So, you're dealing with the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, [CoF6]3â’, and the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, [Co(CN)6]3â’.
You know that [CoF6]3â’ is paramagnetic and that [Co(CN)6]3â’ is diamagnetic, which means that you're going to have to determine why the former ion has unpaired electrons and the latter does not.
Both complex ions contain the cobalt(III) cation, Co3+, which has the following electron configuration
Co3+:1s22s22p63s23p63d6
For an isolated cobalt(III) cation, all these five 3d-orbitals are degenerate. The thing to remember now is that the position of the ligand on the spectrochemical series will determine how these d-orbtals will split.
More specifically, you can say that
a strong field ligand will produce a more significant splitting energy, Δ a weak field ligand will produce a less significant splitting energy, Δ
Now, the spectrochemical series looks like this

Notice that the cyanide ion, CNâ’, is higher on the spectrochemical series than the fluoride ion, Fâ’. This means that the cyanide ion ligands will cause a more significant energy gap between the eg and t2g orbitals when compared with the fluoride ion ligands.

In the case of the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is smaller than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to promote two electrons from the t2g orbitals to the eg orbitals → a high spin complex will be formed.
This will ensure that the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion will have unpaired electrons, and thus be paramagnetic.
On the other hand, in the case of the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is higher than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to pair up those four electrons in the t2g orbitals → a low spin complex is formed.
Since it has no unpaired electrons, the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion will be diamagnetic.
Answer:
- The limiting reactant is lead(II) nitrate.
- 7.20 g of precipitate are formed.
- 1.9 g of the excess reactant remain.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KCl(aq) → PbCl₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
With a percent yield of 87.5%.
To determine the limiting reactant, first we <u>convert the masses of each reactant to moles</u>, using their molar mass:
- 9.82 g Pb(NO₃)₂ ÷ 331.2 g/mol = 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂
- 5.76 g KCl ÷ 74.55 g/mol = 0.0773 mol KCl
Looking at the stoichiometric coefficients, we see that 1 mol of Pb(NO₃)₂ would react completely with 2 moles of KCl. Following that logic, 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (2x0.0296) 0.0592 mol of KCl. We have more than that amount of KCl, this means KCl is the reactant in excess and Pb(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reactant.
To calculate the mass of precipitate (PbCl₂) formed, we <u>use the moles of the limiting reactant</u>:
- 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ * * 87.5/100 = 7.20 g PbCl₂
- Keeping in mind the reaction yield, the moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ that would react are:
- 0.0296 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ * 87.5/100 = 0.0259 mol Pb(NO₃)₂
Now we <u>convert that amount to moles of KCl and finally into grams of KCl</u>:
- 0.0259 mol Pb(NO₃)₂ * = 3.86 g KCl
3.86 g of KCl would react, so the amount remaining would be:
