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.
