What is produced when 3⁺ metal ions react with Na₂CO₃?
Metal Hydroxide & CO₂
Colour change: [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ & Na₂CO₃?
Green Solution |> Green Precipitate
Equation for reaction of [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ & Na₂CO₃?
2[Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ + 3Na₂CO₃ |> 2[Fe(H₂O)₃(OH)₃] + 3CO₂ + 3H₂O + 6Na⁺
Colour of [Fe(H₂O)₃(OH)₃]?
Brown ppt
Why are [M(H₂O)₆]³⁺ ions more Acidic than [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺ ions?
M³⁺ is smaller & more highly charged than M²⁺
& is able to polarise the water ligands more
O-H bonds in water are weakened more readily
& protons are more easily donated
Why are Transition metal ions coloured?
Incomplete d-subshell, frequencies of visible light are absorbed as electrons move from lower energy (ground state) to a higher energy (excited state), the remaining frequencies are reflected, producing the complementary colour.
Colour of [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺?
Green
Colour of [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺?
Blue
Colour of [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺?
Purple (brown in air)
Colour of [Al(H₂O)₆]³⁺?
Colourless
Why do Water Ligands not affect the overall ionic charge?
Water is not a Charged Particle
Define: Acid
Substance that donates H⁺ ions
Equation for reaction of [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ & NH₃?
[Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ + 3NH₃ |> [Fe(H₂O)₃(OH)₃] + 3NH₄⁺
Colour change when Sodium Hydroxide is added to [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺?
Purple Solution ⊳ Brown Precipitate
What type of reaction is metal-aqua ion + ammonia?
Acid-Base
Equation for reaction of [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ & Na₂CO₃?
[Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ + Na₂CO₃ |> CuCO₃ + 2Na⁺ + 6H₂O
Define: Hydrolysis
Breaking of a bond using water
How do the positive metal hexa-aqua ions act as acids?
Electron density in water ligand moves closer to the metal ion and is polarised.
The bonds in water are weakened & one breaks, donating a proton to a water molecule
Colour of [Al(H₂O)₃(OH)₃]?
