Concept explainers
Interpretation: The expected wavelength of the absorption corresponding to promotion of an electron from the lower energy to the higher energy d orbital for the given complex is to be determined and if the given complex absorbs in the visible range is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Absorption of light depends upon the energy gap between t2g and eg orbitals. If the gap is small than the absorbed wavelength is large and if the gap is large than the absorb wavelength is small.
To determine: The expected wavelength of the absorption corresponding to promotion of an electron from the lower energy to the higher energy d orbital for the given complex and if the given complex absorbs in the visible range.

- How to solvearrow_forwardIndicate the concentration and ionic strength ranges to which the Debye-Huckel equation can be applied. And the Davies equation?arrow_forwardIf the ionic strength (I) of a solution is very low, the Debye-Huckel equation is used. If I is higher, the Davies equation is used. What is the correct value for I to use one or the other?arrow_forward
- In both the Debye-Huckel equation and the Davies equation, there is a constant A. I see that sometimes it appears as 0.51 and other times as 1.02. Explain why one or the other value is used.arrow_forwardThe two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forwardThe two equations are forms of the Davies equation, used in thermodynamics for activity coefficients: ال log Y₁ = -Az² - 0,31 log = Az² - 0,31 1 + √Ĩ 1 + √√ k These equations are consistent and imply that Yi = Is this last equation correct? karrow_forward
- For the Davies equation, both expressions are correct: log Y₁ = -Az² √i - 0,31 1 + √ k log- = Az - 0,31 k 1 + √Ĩarrow_forwardk In Davies' equation log y₁ = log- log y₁ = log | = -Az² + ✓// k A is a constant that always equals 1.02. Correct? - 0,31arrow_forwardIndicate whether the equality is true Yi How is it obtained? k%arrow_forward
- Indicate the relationship between the activity coefficient YA and the rate constant of a bimolecular reaction in solution k and the rate constant at infinite dilution ko.arrow_forwardDescribe the saline effect that occurs in solutions.arrow_forwardBriefly explain what the infinite dilution rate constant (k∞) consists of.arrow_forward
