how hemoglobin transports oxygen
why is carbon monoxide toxic

what is the shape and angle of the complex if it has 4 coordinate bonds
what is needed to form an optical isomer for complex ions
how can octahedral and square planer displaced as cis trans
what is cisplatin’s structure
what is the linear complex formed with Ag

A

when one co ordinate bonds, eg H2O nh3 or Cl-
when two co ordinated bonds eg ethane-1,2-diamine or ethanedioate
when more than one co ordinate bonds eg EDTA^4-
the ligands can form stronger coordinate bond or there’s high concentration of ligand
as cl- is larger than h2o only 4 ligands can be formed
because theses not enough of ligands eg NH3 to replace the water ligands
it is a multidentate ligand found in the molecule hemoglobin and forms 4 (nitrogen) out of the 6 ligands attached to fe2+, another two comes from globin and oxygen or water molecule
oxygen is replaced by water when it reaches the muscle
it attaches to the fe2+ and prevents oxygen from attaching as a ligand so oxygen is not transported
The substitution of monodentate ligand with a bidentate or a multidentate ligand leads to a more stable complex. eg if 2 reactant molecules turn into 7 product molecules the entropy increases and reaction favor higher entropy
octahedral with 90 degrees
tetrahedral 109.5 degrees
3 bidentate ligands
if the ligand of the same type is on opposite side then its trans if its on the same side then its cis for both octahedral and square planer
they have 2 nh3 on top and 2 cl- on the bottom its a cis isomer
it has ag with nh3 on both sides

how do you balance a half equation

A

Zinc in acid solution (H+)
Redox potential is the how easily an ion can be reduced same as electrode potentials
More postive redox potential means it’s least stable and most likely to be reduced and that it’s more likely to be feasible
It’s measured in aqueous solution so it will be surrounded by water ligand’s
If stronger ligands such as NH3 attaches to the metal ion it may affect redox potential Or if the solution is more acidic means it would have larger electrode potentials therefore it would be easier to reduce
It is a transition metal(silver) which forms a complex that helps distinguish between aldehydes and Ketons
Cr2O7- (aq) + 14H+ (aq) + 6e- → 2Cr3+ (aq) + 7H2O (l)

when ligands are formed the d orbital which has 5 sub shells splits, where one orbital will have a higher energy than the other
when different wavelengths of light hit electron some are absorbed this cause electron to move up to the higher energy subshell and back, the wavelength of light not absorbed is reflected
the energy energy gap of the split 3d sub shell determines the color
the type of metal ions, oxidation state, type of ligands and the number of co ordinated bonds
energy gap =plank constant (h) times frequency of light (hz)
it can be used to find concentration of meatal ions, the more concentrated it is the more colored it is and the more light it absorbs which is recorded by the calorimeter

what is catalyst poising, why might affect industries
what are homogenous catalysts, give example
what is an autocatalysis
show the equation to how is mn3+formed from mn2+ to be the autocatalysis for c204^2-

A

the vacant d orbital means that that the oxidations states can change
modern industrial method of producing sulfuric acid, during it v205 (vanadium) can go form 5+ to 4+ to oxidise so2 to so3 and vanadium goes back to 5+ oxidation by oxygen
they are in a different phase from the reactants eg catalysts may be solid and the reacts are gases
they would have to increase the rate of reaction this can be don by using a support medium they minimise the cost as only a small amount of medium is used to cover catalysts
Fe in harbor cycle for making ammonia
vanadium v204 in contact process making sulfuric acid
Heterogeneous catalysts can become poisoned by impurities that block the active sites and consequently have reduced efficiency; this has a cost implication
they are in the same phase as the reactants, the reaction go through an intermediate spices for example fe2+ haps catalyse s2o8^2- an I- as both are negative they repel so less likely to collide but fe2= is turned into fe 3+ byes s2o8^-2 and the the fe 3+ oxidise I- to make I
homogeneous catalysts has the same physical state as the reactants, they combine with the reactants to form a intermediate spices with reacts again to create the products and the original catalyst
its is the when the catalyst has to be made through a reaction and then this product acts as the catalyst
4Mn2+ (aq) + MnO4– (aq) + 8H+ (aq) → 5Mn3+ (aq) + 4H2O (aq)

A

they become metal q=aqua ion complexes with six water ligands attached thro coordinate bons between electrons on the oxygen
as 3+ ions have greater charge it is mor strongly bonded to the electron son the oxygen however this mean that the o-h bond on water is weaker so it more likely to split as a result more h+ ions are formed and is more acidic
the oh reacts with the h30 causing the equlibrium to move to the left as a result the h2o ligands are replaced by 0h- according to the charge of the ion
they can react with acid and base eg al hydroxides
