Four different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?
Which of the following statement(s) is( are) true? a. The coordination number of a metal ion in an octahedral complex ion is 8. b. All tetrahedral complex ions are low-spin. c. The formula for triaquatrianuninechromiwn(III) sulfate is [Cr(H2O)3(NH3)](SO4)3. d. The electron configuration of Hf2+ is [Xe]4f126s2. e. Hemoglobin contains Fe3+.
Trimethylphosphine, P(CH3)3, can act as a ligand by donating the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. If trimethylphosphine is added to a solution of nickel(Il) chloride in acetone, a blue compound that has a molecular mass of approximately 270 g and contains 21.5% Ni, 26.0% Cl, and 52.5% P(CH3)3 can be isolated. This blue compound does not have any isomeric forms. What are the geometry and molecular formula of the blue compound?
Two different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.
The square-planar complex Pt(en)Cl2 has chloride ligands in a cis configuration. No trans isomer is known. Based on the bond lengths and bond angles of carbon and nitrogen in the ethylenediamine ligand, explain why the trans compound is not possible.
