Answer:
CN^- is a strong field ligand
Explanation:
The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).
Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.
Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.
Explanation:
A volatile substance is defined as the substance which can easily evaporate into the atmosphere due to weak intermolecular forces present within its molecules.
Whereas a flammable substance is defined as a substance which is able to catch fire easily when it comes in contact with flame.
Hence, when we heat a flammable or volatile solvent for a recrystallization then it should be kept in mind that should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames so that it won't catch fire.
And, you should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.
Thus, we can conclude that following statements are correct:
- You should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames.
- You should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.
Answer:
(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.
Explanation:
Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.
Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference
Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0
Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2
F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0
H 2.1 H-C 0.4
C 2.5 H-N 0.9
N 3.0 H-O 1.4
O 3.5 Br-F 1.2
I 2.7 I-F 1.3
Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0
P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1
Si-P 0.3
Si-C 0.6
Si-F 2.1
So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H
So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 69.6 %
Explanation:
Freon -112 (C₂Cl₄F₂)
MW = (12 x 2) + (35.5 x 4) + (19 x 2)
= 24 + 142 + 38
= 204 g
204 g of C₂Cl₄F₂ ----------------- 100%
142 g ----------------- x
x = (142 x 100 ) / 204
x = 69.6 %
