- Platinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardCarbon monoxide is toxic because it binds more strongly to the iron in hemoglobin (Hb) than does O, as indicated by these approximate standard free-energy changes in blood: Hb + 0, → HbO, AG° = -70 kJ Hb + CO HBCO HЬСО AG° = -80 kJ Using these data, estimate the equilibrium constant at 298 K for the equilibrium HbO, + CO = HÜCO + O2arrow_forwardIn the following reaction, identify the role of each species: NO3-(aq) + 4H+(aq) + Cr(s) → Cr3+(aq) + NO(g) + 2H2O(l) Oxidized: Reduced: Oxidizing Agent/Oxidant: Reducing Agent/Reductanarrow_forward
- Give me handwritten answerarrow_forwardShow that this reaction for the oxidation of NO2 to nitric acid is balanced in terms of change of oxidation states. Identify the oxidising agent and the reducing agent. Is this a disproportionation or a comproportionation reaction? 3 NO2 + H2O → 2 HNO3 + NOarrow_forwardLook at the picture and fill in the gap, please.arrow_forward
- The compound Cr(en)2(OH)2Cl has been prepared in several isomeric forms: Isomer A is optically inactive and undergoes no reaction with either AgNO3 or en. Isomer B is optically inactive and reacts with AgNO3 to form a white precipitate, but does not react with en. Isomer C is optically active and reacts both with en and AgNO3. Assuming the coordination number of chromium is 6, identify each of the three isomers by name and draw each of the structures.Hint: For the en ligand think about what angle the donor atoms form with the metal ion.arrow_forwardGiven the reaction: 2X + Cr2O3 → X2O3 + 2Cr Which of the following could be X? A Al B Ni C Sn D Pbarrow_forwardWhy is Fe2+ used asan electron donor chiefly in acidic environments?arrow_forward
- Ammoniacal nitrogen can be determined by treatment of the sample with chloroplatinicacid; the product is slightly soluble ammonium chloroplatinate:H 2 PtCl 6 + 4NH 4 + → (NH 4 ) 2 PtCl 6 + 2H +The precipitate decomposes on ignition, yielding metallic platinum and gaseous products(NH 4 ) 2 PtCl 6 → Pt(s) + 2Cl 2 (g) + 2NH 3 (g) + 2HCl(g)Calculate the percentage of ammonia in a sample if 0.325g gave rise to 0.653g of platinum.arrow_forwardBased on the following data, is this iron thiocyanate reaction endothermic or exothermic?: Fe3+(aq) + SCN−(aq) ⇌ FeSCN2+(aq) [colorless] [colorless] [blood-red color] After being submreged in a hot water bath, the solution was colorless. After being submerged in an ice bath, the solution turned dark red in color.arrow_forwardComplete the equations of the following reactions and balance them: Na3[Cr(OH)6] + Br2 + NaOHarrow_forward
