In the following brown complex, the oxidation state of iron is +_____________.
${[Fe{({H_2}O)_6}]^{2 + }} + NO \to \mathop {{{[Fe{{({H_2}O)}_5}(NO)]}^{2 + }}}\limits_{\text{Brown complex}} + {H_2}O$
Explanation:
To determine the oxidation state of iron in the brown complex ${[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}}$, we need to analyze the ligands and their charges, as well as the overall charge of the complex.
Step 1: Understanding the Complex
The complex is:
$ {[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}} $
Iron (Fe): The central metal atom whose oxidation state we need to find.
Ligands:
5 Water Molecules ($H_2O$): Neutral ligands (charge = 0).
1 Nitrosyl Group (NO): Can have different charges depending on its mode of bonding.
Step 2: Assigning Charges to Ligands
Water ($H_2O$): Neutral ligand, so it contributes 0 to the overall charge.
Nitrosyl (NO): Can act as:
NO$^+$ (nitrosonium ion) with a +1 charge.
NO (neutral molecule) with 0 charge.
NO$^-$ (nitroxide ion) with a –1 charge.
Step 3: Setting Up the Oxidation State Equation
Let $ x $ be the oxidation state of Fe.
The sum of the oxidation states of all components equals the overall charge of the complex:
$ x + (5 \times 0) + (\text{Charge of NO}) = +2 $
Simplifying:
$ x + (\text{Charge of NO}) = +2 $
Step 4: Determining the Charge of NO in the Complex
In the brown ring complex, experimental evidence shows that the nitrosyl ligand acts as NO$^+$. This is because:
The NO ligand forms a linear bond with Fe, characteristic of NO$^+$.
The complex is known to involve a reduction of the oxidation state of Fe to an unusual value.
Thus, Charge of NO = +1.
Step 5: Calculating the Oxidation State of Fe
Substitute the charge of NO into the equation:
$ x + (+1) = +2 $
Solving for $ x $:
$ x = +2 - (+1) = +1 $
Therefore, the oxidation state of Fe in the brown complex is $ +1 $.
Conclusion
The oxidation state of iron in ${[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}}$ is +1.
Spin only magnetic moment ($\mu$s) of ${K_3}[Fe{(CN)_6}]$ is ____________ B.M.
(Nearest integer)
Explanation:
$\mathrm{CN}^{-}$ have $-1$ oxidation State.
Let oxidation state of $\mathrm{Fe}$ in the complex is $x$.
So, $x-6=-3 \Rightarrow x=+3$
Now, $\mathrm{CN}^{-}$ion is a strong field ligand.
For $Fe^{3+}: -3d^54s^0$
Unpaired electron $=1$
$\mu_{\mathrm{B}}=\sqrt{n(n+2)}=\sqrt{1 \times(1+2)}=1.7$
$\mu_{\mathrm{B}}=2$ B.M

$\left[\mathrm{Ti}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-} \quad$ Paramagnetic (1 unpaired electron)
$\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-} \quad$ Diamagnetic
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-} \quad$ Diamagnetic
(a) CoCl3.4NH3, (b) CoCl3.5NH3, (c) CoCl3.6NH3 and (d) CoCl(NO3)2.5NH3.
Number of complex(es) which will exist in cis-trans form is/are _______________.
Explanation:
$\mathrm{CoCl}_{3} \cdot 5 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5} \mathrm{Cl}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$
$\mathrm{CoCl}_{3} \cdot 6 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{3}$
Only $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$ can show geometrical isomerism. Hence can exist in cis-trans form.
Number of complexes which will exhibit synergic bonding amongst, $[Cr{(CO)_6}]$, $[Mn{(CO)_5}]$ and $[M{n_2}{(CO)_{10}}]$ is ___________.
Explanation:
Acidified potassium permanganate solution oxidises oxalic acid. The spin-only magnetic moment of the manganese product formed from the above reaction is ____________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
$\mathrm{Mn}^{+2}$ has 5 unpaired electrons
$\therefore $ Spin only magnetic moment $=\sqrt{5(5+2)}$
$ \begin{aligned} &=\sqrt{5 \times 7} \\\\ &=\sqrt{35} \\\\ &\simeq 5.92 \text { B.M. } \\\\ &\simeq 6 \text { B.M. } \end{aligned} $
Reaction of [Co(H2O)6]2+ with excess ammonia and in the presence of oxygen results into a diamagnetic product. Number of electrons present in t2g-orbitals of the product is ___________.
Explanation:
$ \mathrm{Co}^{+3} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{6} $
$\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is a strong field ligand.
$ 3 \mathrm{~d}^{6} \longrightarrow \mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^{6} ~\mathrm{eg}^{\circ} $
The spin-only magnetic moment value of an octahedral complex among CoCl3.4NH3, NiCl2.6H2O and PtCl4.2HCl, which upon reaction with excess of AgNO3 gives 2 moles of AgCl is ___________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
From the given information, we are looking for a complex which, upon reaction with excess of AgNO₃, gives 2 moles of AgCl. This implies that the complex has 2 chloride ions involved.
Considering the complexes :
- CoCl₃.4NH₃ : This complex has 3 chloride ions, so it's not the one we are looking for.
- NiCl₂.6H₂O : This complex has 2 chloride ions, so it's a potential candidate.
- PtCl₄.2HCl : This complex has 4 chloride ions, so it's not the one we are looking for.
Therefore, the complex we are interested in is NiCl₂.6H₂O.
$\mathrm{CoCl}_{3} \cdot 4 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \underset{\text { excess }}{\stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow}}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \cdot \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]+\mathrm{AgCl}$$ \left.\left.\mathrm{NiCl}_{2} \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \underset{\text { excess }}{\stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow}}\right[ \mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}+2 \mathrm{AgCl} $
$\mathrm{PtCl}_{4} \cdot 2 \mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{6}\right]^{4-}+\mathrm{No} ~\mathrm{AgCl} ~\mathrm{ppt}$
The next step is to find the oxidation state of the nickel ion. The nickel ion must have a charge of +2 to balance the -2 charge from the two chloride ions, thus it is Ni2+.
In the case of Ni²⁺, the electron configuration is [Ar]3d8. For an octahedral complex, the d-orbitals split into two sets under the influence of ligands: the $e_g$ set which includes d(x²-y²) and d(z²) orbitals, and the $t_{2g}$ set which includes the d(xy), d(xz), and d(yz) orbitals. Electrons will occupy the lower energy $t_{2g}$ orbitals first.
The 3d8 electron configuration implies there are 8 electrons in the 3d orbitals. The first six electrons pair up in the three $t_{2g}$ orbitals, and the next two electrons will go into the two $e_g$ orbitals, with each one having one unpaired electron.
The spin-only magnetic moment (μ) can be calculated using the formula :
$ \mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \, \text{B.M.} $
where n is the number of unpaired electrons. In this case, n = 2, so
$ \mu = \sqrt{2 \times (2+2)} = \sqrt{8} \, \text{B.M.} $
Rounding to the nearest integer, the spin-only magnetic moment is approximately 3 B.M.
Amongst FeCl3.3H2O, K3[Fe(CN)6] and [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, the spin-only magnetic moment value of the inner-orbital complex that absorbs light at shortest wavelength is ____________ B.M. [nearest integer]
Explanation:
$ \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right] \rightarrow \text { Inner-orbital complex } $
$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \rightarrow$ Inner-orbital complex
Since $\mathrm{CN}^{-}$is a strong field ligand than $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$. Hence $\mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]$ is the inner-orbital complex that absorbs light at shortest wavelength.
$\mathrm{Fe}(\text{III}) \rightarrow$ valence shell configuration $3 \mathrm{~d}^{5}$
Since $\mathrm{CN}^{-}$will do pairing, so unpaired electron $=1$
$ \mu=\sqrt{1(1+2)}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{BM} \simeq 2 \mathrm{BM} $
If [Cu(H2O)4]2+ absorbs a light of wavelength 600 nm for d-d transition, then the value of octahedral crystal field splitting energy for [Cu(H2O)6]2+ will be ____________ $\times$ 10$-$21 J. [Nearest Integer]
(Given : h = 6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js and c = 3.08 $\times$ 108 ms$-$1)
Explanation:
$\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ is octahedral
$ \because \Delta_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{4}{9} \times \Delta_{0} $
$ \begin{aligned} &\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3.08 \times 10^{8}}{600 \times 10^{-9}} \\\\ &\Delta_{0}=\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3.08 \times 10^{8}}{600 \times 10^{-9}} \approx 765.7 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned} $
In the cobalt-carbonyl complex : [Co2(CO)8], number of Co-Co bonds is "X" and terminal CO ligands is "Y". X + Y = ___________.
Explanation:

y = 6
$\therefore$ x + y = 7
