Q

haemoglobin: what happens inthe lungs as a result of the concentration of oxygen being high

A

equilibrium shifts right and water ligands are substituted for oxygen molecules to form haemoglobin

34
Q

haemoglobin: which is the process of water/oxygen binding to haemoglobin reversed

A

when oxyhaemoglobin gets to where it is needed

35
Q

haemoglobin: what is the coordination number around iron in oxyhaemoglobin

A

6

36
Q

haemoglobin: what can haemoglobin substitute H2O ligands for when carbo monoxide is inhaled

A

Co

37
Q

haemoglobin: why is carbon monoxide considered toxic

A

bond between carbon monoxide and iron II is very strong and not readily revewrsed

preventsw oxygen being bonded to haemoglobin

38
Q

why are enthalpy changes usually quite small in ligand substitution reactions

A

often little change in number and types of bond present

39
Q

What happens when reactions occur that substitute bidentate and multidentate ligands for monodentate ligands

A

Complex formed often very stable and reaction hard to reverse

40
Q

When is a reaction feasible in terms of energy

A

If free energy, delta G, is negative

41
Q

What does delta G equal

A

Delta H - T delta S

42
Q

Why is there a large increase in entropy of a reaction when there is an increase in moles

A

Disorder is increased

43
Q

Chelate effect

A

Multidentate and bidentate ligands replace monodentate ligands to form complexes

44
Q

Why are transition metal ions coloured

A

Because they have an incomplete d sub shell

45
Q

What do all the d orbitals in a transition metal atom have exactly the same

A

Energy

46
Q

Why do complex ions have some orbitals with more energy than other

A

Interactions between ligands and electrons in d orbitals gives some more energy than others

47
Q

What does how the orbitals split depend on

A

The coordination number of the complex

48
Q

What are electrons promoted from and to when visible light is absorbed

A

Electrons promoted from lower energy (ground state) to higher energy (excited state)

49
Q

When transition metal ions absorb visible light corresponding to a colour this colour is…

A

Missing from the spectrum

50
Q

Why is the complementary colour to the one hat is absorbed seen

A

The remaining colours are transmitted

51
Q

What does the frequency of light absorbed depend on

A

The size of the energy gap

52
Q

Delta E equals

A

hv

53
Q

What is h

A

Plancks constant = 6.63x10-34 Js

54
Q

V equals (definition )

A

Frequency of light absorbed

55
Q

V equals

A

c/ŷ

56
Q

C equals

A

Speed of light = 3x10^8

57
Q

Ŷ equals

A

Wavelength of light

58
Q

what factors induce change of colour in reaction

A
  • change in coordination number
  • change in ligand
  • change in oxidation state
59
Q

why does change in coordination number induce colour change

A

splitting in the dorbitals is different in octahedral complexes than tetrahedral so when coordination number changes from 6 to 4 colour will also change

60
Q

example colour change due to change in coordination number equation

A

[Co(H2O)6]2+ + 4Cl- >< [CoCl4]2- + 6H2O

61
Q

colour change [Co(H2O)6]2+ to [CoCl4]2-

A

pink to blue

62
Q

what is a change in coordination number always accompanied by

A

a change in ligand

63
Q

why does a change in ligand induce a colour change

A

different ligands have different effects on the energies of d orbitals so when ligand changes the size of deltaE changes and hence the colour changes

64
Q

example nickel ligand changing from H2O to NH3

A

[Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 6NH3 >< [Ni(NH3)6]2+ + 6H2O

65
Q

colour change when nickel ligand changes from water to ammonia

A

green to blue

66
Q

why does a change in oxidation state induce a colour change

A

as oxidation state of metal increases so does size of energy gap, delta E. this leads to a change in colour

67
Q

example of irons ox state changing 2+ to 3+

A

[Fe(H2O)6]2+ > [Fe(H2O)6]3+

68
Q

what is spectrometry the study of

A

how electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter

69
Q

what is colorimetry a type of

A

spectroscopy

70
Q

what does a colorimeter measure and what does it give a measure of

A

measures amount of light absorbed by a solution and gives a measure of colour intensity

71
Q

what you must first do to find the concentration of an unknown

A

generate a calibration curve

72
Q

colourimetry experiment

A
  • create 4/5 standard solutions of known concentrations
  • select filter of complimentary colour and measure absorbance of known solutions
  • unknowns absorbance can be measured and conc found from calibration curve
73
Q

why must 4/5 standard solutions be made in colorimetry

A

to provide enough data to draw a line of best fit with confidence

74
Q

why must a filter be used in colorimetry

A

to select out the complementary colour, this is the light the sample absorbs

75
Q

stereoisomerism

A

compounds with the same structural formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space

76
Q

what type of complexes can exhibit stereoisomerism

A

square planar and octahedral

when it has 2 different ligands
