Q

what are the only exceptions?

A

copper + chromium as there is only a small difference between the energy of 3d and 4s
more energy is required to pair up the electrons to create a half filled D orbital and a fully filled D orbital

24
What colour is (Co(H2O)6)2+?
Pink complwx
25
What does adding Ammonia solution to (Cu(H20)62+ cause?
4 ammonium molecules to replace the water molecules which form (Cu(NH3)4(H20)2+ which is a royal blue complex
26
What is cobalt chloride used for?
Test for H20 colour change is blue to pink
27
formula for it?
(CoCl4)2- ----- (Co(H2o)6)2+
28
How is the complex formed?
when Cu2+ or Co2+ reacts with concentrated HCL which displaces the water molecules this causes a colour change which is due to the absorption of light Cu2+ goes from blue to yellow to green and cobalt goes from pink to blue
29
What is a ligand exchange?
when a transition metal ion is exposed to a mixture of ligands such as an aqeous solution of Chloride, ligands can be exchanged to form new complexes This is Le chatelier's principle
30
What is the equation for this?
(Cu(H20)6)2+ + 4NH3------(Cu(NH3)4(H2O)6)2+ + 4H2O
31
According to Le Chatelier's principle what does adding ammonia do?
fores the equilibrium to the right, which produces more of (Cu(NH3)4(H2O2)2+ Adding water forces the equilibrIum to the left which produces more of Cu(H2O)2+
32
What is the equation?
(CoCH20)6)2+ + 4Cl- ------- (CoCl4)2- + 6H20
33
What is the colour of transition metal complexes?
always coloured but in the absence of ligands around the metal ion, the compound would be colourless
34
What effect does the ligands have when introduced to the metal ion?
a significant effect as without ligands, the transition metals have 5 degenerate orbitals where all the orbitals have the same energy
35
In an octahedral complex what happens?
6 negatively charged ligands approach the transition metals along the 3 axis DX, DY DZ the negative charges repel the electrons in the orbitals which make the orbitals unstable and now no longer degenerate as each have a different energy causing the 5 degenerate orbitals to split into 2 higher energy levels and 3 lower energy levels
36
What must an electron in the D Orbital now move from the lower to the higher?
gain energy through the absorption of light
37
When is only 1 frequency of light absorbed?
corresponds to the energy gap between the orbitals energy is found from E=Hf
38
what does the D-D transition metals depend on?
the splitting and the D- orbitals and this varies between ions of different transition metals
39
What happens if the splitting varies?
the frequency of the colour of light absorbed also varies Cu(H2O)6) 2+ is typically blue so absorbs all colours apart from blue
40
What does Cu+ complexes have?
a full D orbital so there are no empty orbitals to allow the electrons to move so Copper (I) does not absorb light in the visible range so appears colourless
41
What is Iron used in?
Haber Process to produce Ammonia from Nitrogen to Hydrogen
42
What is the formula?
N2(g) + 3H2(g)----2NH3(g)
43
When is Nickel used?
Hydrogenation of vegetable oil to form margerine
44
When is Vanadium Oxide used?
in the contact process fot the production of H2SO4
45
MnO2?
used in the catalytic decomposition of H202
46
Why are Catalysts needed?
to save money, energy + time
47
What is a catalyst?
a substance which increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway with a lower activation energy
48
What is a homogenous catalyst?
A catalyst that is in the same physical phase as tHe reactants e.g V2O5
49
Heterogenous Catalyst?
a catalyst that is in a different state as the reactants
50
Why do transition meals act as Catalysts?
1) have empty orbitals 2) have variable oxidation states
51
What increases the reactivity of the bonded species?
when molecules with lone pairs can form coordinate bonds with the metal atom or brings the 2 reactive molecules closer together ( heterogenous provide a solid surface where molecules = adsorbed)
52
Def of adsorbed?
attatched to the surface
53
What does having variable oxidation states do?
allow a metal ion to act as a catalyst in a redox reaction (the metal is either the oxidising or reducing agent)
54
What do homogenous catalysts form?
coordinate bonds with the reactants and use their variable oxidation states to oxidise or reduce
55
Reaction of Cr3+ with NaOH?
ion = Cr3+ Colour of solution = pale green Green/grey ppt is formed when NaOH is formed when excess NaOH is added, ppt redissolves to form green solution
56
Reaction of Fe2+ with NaOH
Pale green solution Dark green ppt is formed when NaOH is added nvc in excess NaOH
57
Reaction of Cu2+ with NaOH?
colour of solution is blue Pale blue PPT is formed when NaOH is added NVC when IN excess NaOH
58
Equation for Cr3+?
Cr3+(aq) + 3OH-(aqO ------ Cr(OHo3 GREEN GREY PPT Cr(OH)3 + 3OH-)(aqO ----- Cr(OH)6)3- GREEN SOLUTION
59
Equation for Fe2+?
Fe2+(aq)+ 2OH-(aq) -----Fe(OH)2)S DARK GREEN
60
Equation for Fe3+?
Fe3+(aq)+3OH-(aq)---- Fe(OH)3(s) Rust brown
61
Equation for Cu2+?
Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) ------- Cu(OH)2(s) pale blue
