Correct answer: 0
- Identify oxidation states and likely colors of the given complexes
We are given the low-spin complexes:
We need the complexes having yellow colour, then add their spin-only magnetic moments.
- Determine the yellow-colored complexes
Known colors of these coordination compounds:
- = potassium cobaltinitrite = yellow
- = potassium ferrocyanide = pale yellow / yellow
- = potassium ferricyanide = red
- is not yellow
- = zinc ferrocyanide = white
So the yellow complexes are:
- Find magnetic moment of
For :
Let oxidation state of Co be .
So, metal ion is .
Cobalt:
Given low-spin octahedral complex with strong-field ligand :
Number of unpaired electrons:
Spin-only magnetic moment:
- Find magnetic moment of
For :
Let oxidation state of Fe be .
So, metal ion is .
Iron:
With strong-field ligand and low spin octahedral complex:
Number of unpaired electrons:
Thus,
- Sum of magnetic moments of yellow complexes
Nearest integer:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer also = , so they agree.
