- 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_forwardAn aqueous solution of [Rh(C2O4)3]3− is yellow. Predict the approximate wavelength and predominant color of light absorbed by the complex.arrow_forwardFour different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forward
- What types of isomers are possible for the following compounds or complex ions? (a) K[Co(NH3)2Cl4] (b) Pt(en)Cl2 (square-planar) (c) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ (d) [Ru(phen)3]Cl3 (e) Na2[MnCl4] (tetrahedral) (f) [Co(NH3)5NO2)2+arrow_forwardThere are only two geometric isomers of the tetraamminedichlorocobalt(III) ion, [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+. How many geometric isomers would be expected for this ion if it had a regular planar hexagonal geometry? Give drawings for them. Does this rule out a planar hexagonal geometry for [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+?
