- 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?arrow_forwardGiven the colors observed for VO43- (orthovanadate ion), CrO42- (chromate ion), and MnO4- (permanganate ion), what can you say about how the energy separation between the ligand orbitals and the empty d orbitals changes as a function of the oxidation state of the transition metal at the center of the tetrahedral anion?arrow_forwardExplain the differences between weak-field and strong-field metal complexes?arrow_forward
