Q

Reaction of Copper(II) with HCl (aq) product formula and colour

A

[CuCl4]2- (aq)
Yellow solution (may look green)

31
Q

Relative acidity of metal-aqua ions and why

A

The 3+ ions are more acidic than 2+ as Fe3+ smaller and more highly charged than Fe2+, so Fe3+ is more polarising so strongly attracts the lone pair on the oxygen of the water ligands, in tune this weakens the O-H bond strength. So Fe(III) complex more easily realeases H+ ions making the solution acidic
The fe(II) complex doesn’t realease H+ ions

32
Q

The character of metal hydroxides as basic or amphoteric

A

Aluminium hydroxide is amphoteric
It acts as a base when HCl
is added product is [Al(H2O)6]3+
Acts as an acid with NaOH added
Product [Al(H2O)2(OH)4]-
