Chapter 22, Problem 39QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the statement, “The ${\text{[Fe}{\left(\text{CN}\right)}_{\text{6}}\text{]}}^{\text{3-}}$ complex is more labile than the ${\text{[Fe}{\left(\text{CN}\right)}_{\text{6}}\text{]}}^{4-}$ complex”is to beexplained, with the help of an appropriateexperiment.

Concept introduction:

The complexes in which a fast exchange of ligands takes place are known as labile or non-inert complexes, whereas the complexes in which the exchange of ligands is a slow process are known as inert complexes.
