Chapter 9, Problem 9D.17E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength and the color of the complex ${\left[\text{Ni}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{6}}\right]}^{\text{2+}}$ have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The wavelength of the complex can be calculated using the formula,

  $\text{λ=}\frac{\text{hc}}{{\text{Δ}}_{\text{o}}}$

Where

${\text{Δ}}_{\text{o}}$ is the splitting energy of the complex.

$\text{λ}$ is the wavelength.

h is the Planck’s constant $\left(\text{6}{\text{.626×10}}^{\text{-34}}\text{J}\text{s}\right)\text{.}$

c is the velocity of the light $\left({\text{3×10}}^{\text{8}}\text{m}{\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}\right).$
