Q

Under the Lewis theory of acidity, Brønsted-Lowry acids are still considered acids. Why?

A

They all donate protons and protons readily accept a pair of electrons

Q

Explain why all aqueous solutions of Fe3+ are more acidic than that of Fe2+

A

Fe3+ is smaller with a higher charge

Fe3+ ionises O-H in water more than Fe2+, releasing more H+ ions

Q

Equation for adding OH- to a metal 2+ complex

What does the OH- act as and why?

A

[M(H20)6]2+ + 2OH- —> [M(H2O)4(OH)2] +2H2O

A base because it steals a H+ from H2O ligand

Q

When NH3 is added in small amounts to a metal 2+ complex what does it act similarly to and why?

What is the side product?

A

OH- ion
Both are bases so will remove protons from water

Q

Why can carbonate ions remove protons from M3+ complex aqua ions in the same way as OH-?

A

M3+ complexes have a high acidity to their charge/size ratio so carry out acid base reactions with carbonate ions

Protons are lost from water forming a neutral substance

Q

Can carbonate ions remove protons from the M2+?

Q

What is the beginning and final complexes for the further reaction of Cu with an XS of ammonia?

A

Reactant: [Cu(H2O)4(OH)2]

Product: [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+

18
Q

Why is the Cu complex with XS ammonia slightly distorted?

Cis or trans?

A

The Cu-O bond it shorter to the best arrangement is to have NH3 ligands in Square planar arrangement

Trans
