Q

spectrophotometry method

A
  1. add ligand to intensify colour
  2. make solutions of known concentrations
  3. measure absorption/transmission
  4. plot calibration curve
  5. measure absorbance of unknown compound
  6. use relationship that concentration is proportional to absorbance and work out concentration.

(Ag(CN)2)-

COLOURLESS ALL

24
Q

transition metals lose 4s or 3d first

A

4s

25
Q

why can transition metals receive and donate electrons

A

partially filled sub shell d

26
Q

compounds with low oxidation states are…

A

reducing agents

27
Q

compounds with high oxidation states are…

A

oxidising agents

28
Q

(VO2)+ ox state and colour

A

yellow
+5

29
Q

(VO)2+ ox state and colour

A

blue
+4

30
Q

V3+ ox state and colour

A

+3
green

31
Q

V2+ ox state and colour

A

+2
violet

32
Q

tell me about V with ox state +5

A

exists as solid compound in form of (VO3)- , usually as NH4VO3 (ammonium vanadate)
very strong ox agent
adding acid to the solution –> yellow (VO2)+ solution

33
Q

addition of zinc to vanadium (V) in acidic solution

A

down through each ox state
colour will change from yellow, blue, green, violet

34
Q

transition metals and ion formation across period trend is…

A

stability of 2+ ox state compared to 3+ increases across the period

35
Q

why does zinc reduce vanadium through all the ox states?

A

its electrode potential is more negative than all of vanadium’s electrode potential - will be oxidised and will reduce the vanadium

36
Q

Cr3+ colour

A

green

37
Q

Cr2+

A

blur

38
Q

zinc in HCl + (Cr2O7)2- produces…
conditions for one of the reactions and why

A

Cr3+ and Cr2+ (two separate equations)
hydrogen atmosphere for reduction to Cr2+, as oxygen in air will oxidise the Cr2+ to Cr3+

39
Q

(Cr2O7)2- colour

A

orange

40
Q

Fe2+ and (Cr2O7)2-

A

less strong reducing agent than zinc
reduces chromate to Cr3+

41
Q

how can the cr2+ state be stabilised

A

forming stable complex ion with ligand like the ethanoate ion

42
Q

cr2+ ion bubbled through sodium ethanoate…

A

red precipitate STABLE

43
Q

more positive electrode potential means…

A

reduced

44
Q

transition metals with low oxidation states are easier to be oxidised in…and why

A

alkaline solutions than in acidic
form negative ions, and electrons are easier to remove from negative ions

45
Q

what alkali to add to transition metals

A

H2O2
NaOH

46
Q

half equations in alkaline conditions…

A

KOHES but ADD OH- TO CANCEL OUT THE H+

47
Q

chromate dichromate equilibrium

A

(CrO4)2- + 2H+ double headed arrow Cr2O7 2- + H2O

48
Q

What is the colour of (CrO4)2-

A

yellow

49
Q

addition of zinc and HCl OR Fe2+ and acidified HCl to dichromate

A

(Cr(H2O)6)3+ green solution

50

Lewis acid and base in complexes

A

Lewis acid: metal ion
Lewis base: ligand
