(a) when there are extra chloride ions in a solution, [CoCl4]2- complex ions can form, which are a different color than the Co2+ ions. Supposed 20% of the Co2+ ions form the complex ions when a student uses aqueous NaCl solution instead of Deionized water (he/she picked up the wrong bottom by mistake). How would the presence of [CoCl2]2- complex ions affect the % transmittance values the student reads from the spectrophotometer? Explain. (b) how are the absorbance values changed?
We have a mixture of 100 mL of Fe3+ solution (1.00 × 10–3 M) and 100 mL of A- ion solution (1.00 × 10–3 M). The mixture has a deep blue color, indicating the formation of a complex between Fe3+ and A-. From spectrophotometric analysis, we find that 30.0% of the Fe3+ is in the form of a complex, where there are two probable formulae: FeX2+ or FeX3. a. Balance the following equations and calculate the concentrations of the remaining species. b. After reaching equilibrium states, write the equilibrium expressions and the equilibrium constants for both cases in (a).
