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.
Answer:
0.52 mol
Explanation:
Using the general gas equation formula:
PV = nRT
Where;
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (Liters)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (K)
At STP (standard temperature and pressure), temperature of a gas is 273K, while its pressure is 1 atm
Using PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
n = (1 × 11.74) ÷ (0.0821 × 273)
n = 11.74 ÷ 22.41
n = 0.52 mol
There are 0.52 moles in the basketball
