Consider the UV-Vis spectrum of a metal complex given below: a) b) c) d) e) Absorbance 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 -0.2 400 450 500 550 Wavelength (nm) 600 650 700 Determine the approximate value of max from the spectrum. Briefly discuss the type of electron transitions for a coordination complex which can be observed in a UV spectrum. Determine whether the spectrum above is for [Co(H2O)6]³+ or [Co(CN)6]³-. Explain your answer. Explain why the absorbance bands observed in UV-Vis spectra are broad and not well- defined (sharp). Draw a general schematic of the layout of a typical UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
