(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Systematic name for K3[Fe(CN)6] has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

There are certain rules to be followed while naming a transition metal complex.  They are listed below.

  • Name of the cation is written first followed by the anion.
  • In any neutral complex or complex ion, the name of ligand is written first followed by the metal to which the ligands are attached.  If the complex contains more than one type of ligands, then they are written in alphabetical order.
  • Negative ligands names are ended with the letter “o” while the name is given as such for the neutral ligand molecules.
  • Number of ligands present in the complex is denoted by adding Greek prefix.
  • Ordinary name for the metal is used if the complex ion is cation or neutral while the name of the metal is ended with “-ate”, if the complex ion is an anion.
  • Oxidation state of the metal that is present in the complex is indicated by the Roman numeral following the name of the metal.

The Haber-Bosch process permits the direct conversion of molecular nitrogen to ammonia, which can be used in large-scale fertilizer production. Given the balanced Haber-Bosch reaction and using the bond energies in the table below, estimate the enthalpy change associated with the reaction. N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Bond N=N N = N Energy (kJ/mol) 941 418 N-N H-H N-H 163 435 388
Benzoic acid is used to determine the heat capacity of bomb calorimeters because it can be obtained in pure form and its energy of combustion is known very accurately (−26.43 kJ/g). Determine the heat capacity of a calorimeter that had a temperature increase of 9.199°C when 3.500 g of benzoic acid was used.
