Question

The equilibrium constant Ka for the reaction

Co(H2O)63+ (aq) + H2O (l) ---> Co(H2O)5(OH)2+ (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

is 1.0x10-5 

A) Calculate the pH of a 0.16 M  solution of Co(H2O)63+.

pH = _________

B) Will a 0.60 M  solution of cobalt(II) nitrate have a higher or lower pH than a 0.60 M  solution of cobalt(III) nitrate?

 

- higher
- lower
- same
 
C) Co3+ complex ions are generally low-spin cases, whereas Co2+ complex ions are generally high-spin cases. Explain.

The magnitude of  for complexes of the same ligand _________(increases/decreases/does not change) as the charge on the metal ion increases.

If this is the situation, how many unpaired electrons are present in Co(H2O)63+and Co(H2O)5(OH)2+?

Co(H2O)63+: ________ unpaired electrons

Co(H2O)5(OH)2+: ________ unpaired electrons
