Let's pretend you are a scientist for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and need to test a water sample for iron. You generate a calibration curve and find the Beer's law slope for the Fe-phenanthroline complex is 0.215 L/mg Fe. The absorbance of the diluted unknown solution prepared in accordance with the instructions in this exercise is found to be 0.471. What is the concentration of the original unknown solution? 2.19 mg/L 21.9 mg/L

When the Ti3+ ion is complexed by ligands X (a neutral molecule) and Y" (an anion) it gives octahedral species of the type [TIX)6)3+ and [Ti(Y)6)³, respectively, which have two different colours. The complex containing ligand X shows a single absorbance in the visible region with a peak maximum at 520 nm, while that containing Y has a peak maximum at 580 nm. Which of the two ligands produces the higher crystal field splitting energy (CFSE) for Cu2+? O a. The crystal field splitting is not caused by the ligand as one complex is a cation and one is an anion O b. The CFSES for the two complexes are the same O. Ligand X produces the higher CFSE O d. Ligand Y produces the higher CFSE

Three solutions containing transition metal complexes have lost their labels. We know that all of them contain copper(II) ions. And we know that each solution contains one of the following ligands coordinated with the copper: chloride ions, water, and ammonia. A picture of the three solutions is below: Part A: Identify which solution contains which complex. Be sure to give the proper formula for the complex (including the metal, how many ligands, and overall charge). Explain your answers. Below is a color wheel for your consideration. Part B: Solution C is placed in a spectrometer and the absorbed light is found to have a peak absorption at 543nm. Draw the crystal field splitting energy diagram for the complex. Draw in the correct number and positions of electrons. And calculate the crystal field splitting energy (in kJ/mole). Be sure to show all of your work.
