56
Q

61
Q

A

One ligand in a complex ion is replaced by another ligand

62
Q

Reactions of aqueous copper (ii) ions

A

Copper sulfate is dissolved in water and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ forms
This is a pale blue solution which changes colour to form a dark blue solution when 4NH3 is added and replaces 4 of the H2O ligands producing 4H2O as a by-product

63
Q

Breakdown of addition of 4NH3 to hexaaquacopper

A

Add the ammonia drop-wise to the solution
- pale blue precipitate of Cu(OH)2 is formed in the first stage of the reaction
- the precipitate then dissolves in excess ammonia to form a dark blue solution

64
Q

Ligand substitution with chloride ions?

A

Concentrated HCl can be used as a source of chloride ions - excess is added - the pale blue solution changes colour to form a yellow solution which is another example of a ligand substitution reaction as 6 water ligands have been replaced with 4 chloride ligands

65
Q

Observations of ligand substitution of chloride ions?

A

Intermediate green solution is formed but this is just the result of the yellow solution mixing with the blue solution to give a green colour as the reaction proceeds

66
Q

Hexaaquacopper to tetrachlorocopper?

A

Change in coordination number : 6 to 4
Change in colour : pale blue to yellow solution
Change in shape : octahedral to tetrahedral

67
Q

Reasoning behind number of chloride ligands?

A

They are larger in size/bulkier than water ligands so fewer chloride ligands can fit around the central Cu2+ ion

68
Q

69
Q

A

Complex ion [Cr(H2O)6]3+ is formed - this is pale purple solution

73
Q

Breakdown of reaction of ammonia with (cr(H2O)6) 3+

A

When the ammonia is added drop-wise to the chromium iii solution it takes place in two steps
STEP 1 : grey-green precipitate of cr(oh)3 is formed
STEP 2 : precipitate dissolves in excess ammonia to form the complex ion (cr(NH3)6)3+

74
Q

Carbon monoxide + Fe2+

A

Forms carboxyhaemoglobin - ligand substitution reaction takes place where the oxygen in haemoglobin is replaced by carbon monoxide as carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin more strongly than oxygen so a small concentration of carbon monoxide can prevent a large proportion of haemoglobin molecules from carrying oxygen

75
Q

Carboxyhaemoglobin?

A

Bond is so strong that this process is irreversible

76
Q

Precipitation reaction

A

When two aqueous solutions containing ions react together to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate

85
Q

Fe2+/Fe3+/Mn2+ + ammonia

A

All react with an excess of aqueous ammonia in the same way as they react with aqueous sodium hydroxide - forming precipitates of iron (ii and iii) hydroxide and manganese hydroxide - no further reaction with aqueous ammonia so these precipitates do not dissolve

86
Q

Fe2+ + MnO4- ions

A

Fe2+ is oxidised to Fe3+
MnO4- is reduced to Mn2+
Solution containing MnO4- is purple and is decolourised by Fe2+ ions to form a colourless solution containing Mn2+ ions

87
Q

Fe3+ to Fe2+

A

When a solution of Fe3+ reacts with iodide ions the orange brown Fe3+ ions are reduced to pale green Fe2+ ; this colour change is obscured by the oxidation of iodide ions to form iodine which has a brown colour

A

2Fe3+ is orange brown
Fe2+ is pale green
