Question

A. Consider three possible ways in which Cu2+ could sorb to a hematite surface: (1) outer-sphere sorption, (2) inner-sphere sorption, and (3) precipitation as a Cu(II)-hydroxide. Describe the differences in the coordination environment - i.e. identify of the nearest atomic neighbours and interatomic distance within 0.5 nm (5 Å) of a given Cu(II) ion - of each sorption process. You are welcome to draw a schematic illustration to help clarify your text.
