Chemical Principles
- The standard reduction potential for the reaction [Co( H 2 O)6]3+(aq)+e[CO( H 2 O)6]2+(aq) is about 1.8 V. The reduction potential for the reaction [Co( NH 3 )6]3+(aq)+e[Co( NH 3 )6]2+(aq) is +0.1 V. Calculate the cell potentials to show whether the complex ions,. [Co( H 2 O)6]2+ and or [Co( NH 3 )6]2+, can be oxidized to the corresponding Cobalt (III) complex by oxygen.arrow_forwardExplain the difference in behavior of d and l isomers with respect to polarized light.arrow_forward2.
