33
Q

4 main features of transition metals.

A

Variable oxidation states
Colour
Catalysis
Complex formation

34
Q

When is a complex transition metal ion formed?

A

When a transition metal ion is surrounded by ligands, bonded by co-ordinate bonds

35
Q

Lewis base

A

Lone pair donor

36
Q

Lewis acid

A

Lone pair acceptor

37
Q

Why does the ligand act as a Lewis base and the metal ion act as a Lewis acid in complex ion?

A

Ligand is donating a lone pair and the metal ion is accepting it

38
Q

Why are CN- and CO toxic?

A

They prevent oxygen being transported around the body

39
Q

When can cis-teams isomerism occur?

A

In octahedral and square planar complexes where there are two ligands of one type different to other ligands

40
Q

When does optical isomerism occur in complexes?

A

In an octahedral complex with three bidentate ligands

41
Q

Why is HCl an unsuitable as as the medium for which KMnO4 reacts?

A

MnO4- would oxidise the Cl-, so the total volume of KMnO4 would be affected.

42
Q

Why is concentrated H2SO4/HNO3; an unsuitable as as the medium for which KMnO4 reacts?

A

They are oxidising agents so effect the volume of KMnO4 required in the titration.

43
Q

Why is Ethanoic acid an unsuitable as as the medium for which KMnO4 reacts?

A

It’s too weak an acid and would not provide enough H+ ions.

44
Q

What are the reactions of metal aqua ions?

A

Hydrolysis
Substitution
Redox

45
Q

Ligand

A

Atom, ion or molecule which can donate a lone electron pair

46
Q

Complex ion

A

Central metal ion surrounded by co-ordinately bonded ligands which co-ordination number exceeds oxidation state

47
Q

Co-ordination number

A

The number of co-ordinate bonds formed to a central metal ion

48
Q

When doing colorimetry, why is it important that the container for each sample has the same dimensions?

A

Absorption depends on distance traveled through solution

49
Q

Why is a coloured filter used in colorimetry ?

A

To select the colour or wavelength that is almost strongly absorbed by the sample

50
Q

Why might a colorimetric method be chosen in preference of a titration?

A

Quicker to measure extracted samples than to titrate

51
Q

How does the precipitate become dry in a desiccator?

A

Water vapour of precipitate is absorbed by the dying agent.

52
Q

Explain the term complex

A

Transition metal ion surrounded by one or more coordinately bonded ligands.
