Q

Why do transition elements have cloured ion solutions?

A

The transitional property of colour depends on the metal ion having a partially filled d-subshell.
When light passes through a coloured substance, specific wavelengths are absorbed. We see a mixture of what is left over.
Transition metal ions absorb energy from visible light to PROMOTE ELECTRONS from lower energy levels to higher ones.
However this means that there must be d electrons in the ion to promote, and that there must be spaces in the orbitals to promote the electrons into.

Q

Why do transition elements make good heterogeneous catalysts?

A

They can easily adsorb (attach to the surface of) reactants, weakening bonds within the reactants.

Q

What are the basic techniques and procedures used when carrying out a redox titration with Fe2+/MnO4-? What is the end point?

A

Measure the meniscus from the top
Add the KMnO4 to the burette
Add sulfuric acid to the solution to be analysed to provide the H+ ions
The endpoint is when the first permanent pink colour arises.
(if MnO4- is in the conical flask, it will be when the pink/purple disappears)
