Q

How does transition metal form coloured soln

Q

Why do some aqueous ions show no colour

A

Splitting so small/large that energy transition outside of VL range.
D subshell is full/empty therefore no electron transition possible

Q

What can cause colour changes in transition metals

A 
Oxidation number (higher charge = greater splitting)
Ligand (stronger bond by ligand increases splitting)
Coordination number (change in splitting)

Q

Monodentate ligand and example

A

Only can donate one pair of electrons to metal centre at a time as only one pair points to metal centre. H2O, OH-, NH3.

Q

Why do some transition metal ions form tetrahedral complexes

A

Larger ligands such as chloride have such great repulsion between them that it is unstable. Due to size and negative charge.

Q

Example of square planar complex

A

Cis-platin

22
Q

Why is cis-platin used and not trans-platin

A

Only cis-form is active in causing cell death

23
Q

Haem group structure

A

Multidentate ligand around Fe(II)

24
Q

Why is CO toxic

A

Oxygen molecule bound to haemoglobin replaced by CO. CO is a stronger ligand than O2 and remain bound even at low conc/

25
Q

Vanadate (V) formula and colour

A

VO2 + Yellow

26
Q

Vanadate (IV) formula and colour

A

VO 2+ Blue

27
Q

Vanadium (III) formula and colour

A

V3+ Green

28
Q

Vanadium (II) formula and colour

A

V2+ Violet but oxidises back to V3+

29
Q

Chelate effect

A 
Multidentate ligands replace monodentate ligands as it introduces more disorder (higher S system)
Ligand sub is feasible if exothermic (S surr will be +ve)
if endothermic (and magnitude of S surr is less than S sys)
30
Q

Why do transition metals act as good catalyst

A

Can change oxidation state and engage in redox reactions

31
Q

Contact process (production of H2SO4) with vanadium (V) oxide

A

Overall reaction: 2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3
1) 2SO2 + V2O5 -> 2SO3 + 2V2O4
2) 2V2O4 + O2 -> 2V2O5
Vanadium (V) oxide catalyst

32
Q

How does catalytic converter work

A

Adsorption of CO and NO molecules onto catalyst surface, weakening of chemical bonds and reaction, desorption of CO2 and N2 product molecules from surface.
2NO + 2CO -> N2 + 2CO2

33
Q

Fe2/3+ ions in reaction between I- and S2O8 2- ions

A

Both reactants negative so slow
S2O8 2- + 2Fe2+ -> 2SO4 2- + 2Fe3+
2Fe3+ + 2I- -> I2 + 2Fe2+

34
Q

Mn2+ ions in autocatalysing reaction between MnO4- and C2O4 2-
5C2O4 2- + 2MnO4 - + 16H+ -> 10CO2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O

A

5C2O4 2- + 2MnO4 - + 16H+ -> 10CO2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O
4Mn2+ + MnO4- + 8H+ -> 5Mn3+ + 4H2O
2Mn3+ + C2O4 2- -> 2CO2 + 2Mn2+

36
Q

[Co(H2O)6]2+ with excess NH3 reaction and colours
