Challenge question: This question is worth 6 points. As you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. T

hese species are called ligands. In the past we have assumed all the d orbitals in some species are degenerate; however, they often are not. Sometimes the ligands bound to a central metal cation can split the d orbitals. That is, some of the d orbitals will be at a lower energy state than others. Ligands that have the ability to cause this splitting are called strong field ligands, CN− is an example of these. If this splitting in the d orbitals is great enough electrons will fill low lying orbitals, pairing with other electrons in a given orbital, before filling higher energy orbitals. In question 7 we had Fe2+, furthermore we found that there were a certain number (non-zero) of unpaired electrons. Consider now Fe(CN)6 4−: here we also have Fe2+, but in this case all the electrons are paired, yielding a diamagnetic species. How can you explain this?

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.

Igoryamba
<span>There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity and molality. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution.  MOlality is expressed as moles per kg solution. 

5.25 mol H2SO4 / kg solution ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) ( 1.266 g / mL ) ( 1000 mL / 1L ) = 6.6 M H2SO4</span>

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

2.803013439419911 × 10⁻¹² J

Explanation:

Mass defect = mass of reactant - mass of product

(2.0140 + 3.01605) - (4.002603 + 1.008665)

5.03005 - 5.011268 = 0.018782 amu

mass in Kg = mass (amu) × 1.66053892173 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass in kg = 0.018782 × 1.66053892173 × 10⁻²⁷ = 3.1188242027932 × 10⁻²⁹kg

E = Δm c² where c is the speed of light = 2.9979 × 10⁸m/s

E = 3.1188242027932 × 10⁻²⁹kg × (2.9979 × 10⁸m/s)² = 2.803013439419911 × 10⁻¹² J

What pattern appears in the vertical arrangement (columns) of the elements in the Periodic Table, moving from top to bottom?
Grace [21]
Idk if this is the information you need but the energy level gets higher the farther you move down the Periodic Table. Every element in a vertical line has the same energy level.

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.
Andru [333]
Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
