Q

Why do transition elements make good catalysts

A

Change ox states easily by gaining or losing electrons from their d orbitals
So the transfer of electrons speeds up the rate of reaction

Good at adsorbing substances onto their surfaces to lower their activation energy

23
Q

What is a monodentate Ligand

A

One lone pair available for bonding

24
Q

What is a ligand with 2 lone pairs available for bonding

A

Bidentate

25
Q

What type of isomerism do complex ions show

A

Cis/trans and optical

26
Q

What shape is cis platin

A

Square planar

27
Q

How is cis platin an anti cancer drug

A

Cl are displaced
pt bonds to 2 N atoms on the cancer cells dna
Blocks the translation and transcription of dna
Cell can’t divide
Cell dies

28
Q

Why is cis platin bad

A

Prevents division of normal cells
Suppresses immune system increasing risk of infection
Kidney damage

29
Q

What type of reaction do complex ions undergo

A

Ligand substitution

30
Q

What happens when the ligands substitution uses similar size Ligands

A

Same coord no

Same shape

31
Q

What is the colour change in the reaction and write an equation:
Cr(h2o)6]3+ + 6nh3

A

-> cr(nh3)6]3+ + 6h2o

Violet -> purple

32
Q

What happens in ligand substitution when the Lignads are different sizes

A

Change coord no

Change shape

33
Q

Give the equation and colour change and change in shape of this reaction
Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 4cl-

A

-> cu(Cl)4]2- + 6h20
Pale blue -> yellow
Octahedral-> tetrahedral

34
Q

Give the equation and colour change of the reaction:
Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 4nh3

Why does nh3 have to be in excess

A

Cu(nh3)4(H2O)2]2+ + 4h2o

Pale blue to deep blue

You get a hydroxide ppt

35
Q

How many coordinate bonds does haemoglobin have

A

6

36
Q

How many lone pairs does the haem group give

A

4

37
Q

How many lone pairs does the globin group give

A

1

38
Q

Apart from N what else is bonded to the fe in haemolglobin

A

H2O

39
Q

What happens to haemoglobin in the lungs

A

High o2 conc
Water replaced by o2
Forms ocyhaemoglobin
Transported around the rest of the body

40
Q

Why is CO so dangerous

A

Co swaps with H2O ans binds to the fe
Forms carboxyhaemoglobin
Co is a strong ligand and won’t swap back with o2
So o2 isn’t transported around the body

41
Q

How is fe2+ oxidised to fe3+

A

Acidified KMnO4

42
Q

What is the colour change from fe2+ to fe3+

A

Pale green -> yellow

43
Q

What is the half equation for KMnO4 as an oxidising agent

A

MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- -> Mn2+ + 4H2o

44
Q

What is the half equation of the oxidation of fe2+ to fe3+

A

Fe2+ -> fe3+ + e-

45
Q

How is fe3+ reduced to fe2+

What is the colour change

A

I- ions

Yellow -> pale green

46
Q

What is the half equations for the reduction of fe3+ using I-

A

2I- -> I2 + 2e-

Fe3+ + 3- -> Fe2+

47
Q
