- Platinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardA coordination compound has the following composition (by mass %): 23.53% Co; 42.47% Cl, and 34.00% NH3. When 4.91 g of the compound is dissolved in 75.0 mL of deionized water, and the solution is reacted with an excess of AGNO; solution, it yields 5.60 g of AgCl precipitate. (a) Determine the empirical formula of the compound and write in the form of Co(NH;),Cl, (where x and 24. y are simple integers), and calculate its molar mass. (Assume the compound contains only one Co atom). (b) Deduce the number of chloride (Cl) as counter ions and as ligand, respectively. (c) Write the Werner's formula of the compound and give its systematic name. (Answers: (a) Co(NH3);C13; molar mass = 250.43 g/mol; (b) 2 Cl are counter ions and one is ligand; (c) [Co(NH3);CI]Cl2 = pentaammonechlorocobalt(III) chloride)arrow_forwardA manganese complex formed from a solution containing potassium bromide and oxalate ion is purified and analyzed. It contains 10.0% Mn, 28.6% potassium, 8.8% carbon, and 29.2% bromine by mass. The remainder of the compound is oxygen.
