Give formulas for the following. a. potassium tetrachlorocobaltate(II) b. aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) bromide c. sodium dicyanobis(oxalato)ferrate(III) d. triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) iodide

Short Answer

Expert verified
a. \[K_2CoCl_4\] b. \[[Pt(CO)_3(H_2O)]Br_2\] c. \[Na_3[Fe(CN)_2(C_2O_4)_2]\] d. \[[Cr(NH_3)_3Cl(en)]I_3\]

Step by step solution

01

a. potassium tetrachlorocobaltate(II)

First, we identify the cations and anions in the compound. Here, potassium is the cation (K^+) and tetrachlorocobaltate(II) is the anion. Cobalt has an oxidation state of +2, so the formula for the tetrachlorocobaltate(II) anion is CoCl4^2-. Now, we determine the number of each ion to balance their charges: one potassium ion (K^+) and one tetrachlorocobaltate(II) anion (CoCl4^2-). So, the chemical formula of potassium tetrachlorocobaltate(II) is \[K_2CoCl_4\].
02

b. aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) bromide

Here, we have aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) as the cation and bromide as the anion. The cation has platinum with an oxidation state of +2 along with three carbonyl ligands (CO) and one water ligand (H2O). Therefore, the formula for aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) cation is [Pt(CO)3(H2O)]^2+. Bromide anion has the formula Br^-. Now, we determine the number of each ion to balance their charges: one aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) cation [Pt(CO)3(H2O)]^2+ and two bromide anions Br^-. So, the chemical formula of aquatricarbonylplatinum(II) bromide is \[[Pt(CO)_3(H_2O)]Br_2\].
03

c. sodium dicyanobis(oxalato)ferrate(III)

In this compound, sodium is the cation (Na^+) and dicyanobis(oxalato)ferrate(III) is the anion. Ferrate(III) has an oxidation state of +3, so we have Fe(CN)2(C2O4)2^3-. Now, we determine the number of each ion to balance their charges: three sodium ions (Na^+) and one dicyanobis(oxalato)ferrate(III) anion (Fe(CN)2(C2O4)2^3-). So, the chemical formula of sodium dicyanobis(oxalato)ferrate(III) is \[Na_3[Fe(CN)_2(C_2O_4)_2]\].
04

d. triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) iodide

Here, triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) is the cation and iodide is the anion. The cation consists of chromium with an oxidation state of +3, three ammonia ligands (NH3), one chloro ligand (Cl), and one ethylenediamine ligand (en, which is C2H4(NH2)2). Therefore, the formula for triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) cation is [Cr(NH3)3Cl(en)]^3+. Iodide anion has the formula I^-. Now, we determine the number of each ion to balance their charges: one triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) cation [Cr(NH3)3Cl(en)]^3+ and three iodide anions I^-. So, the chemical formula of triamminechloroethylenediaminechromium(III) iodide is \[[Cr(NH_3)_3Cl(en)]I_3\].

Iron is present in the earth's crust in many types of minerals. The iron oxide minerals are hematite \(\left(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right)\) and magnetite \(\left(\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right) .\) What is the oxidation state of iron in each mineral? The iron ions in magnetite are a mixture of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) ions. What is the ratio of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) to \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) ions in magnetite? The formula for magnetite is often written as \(\mathrm{FeO} \cdot \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} .\) Does this make sense? Explain.

One of the classic methods for the determination of the manganese content in steel involves converting all the manganese to the deeply colored permanganate ion and then measuring the absorption of light. The steel is first dissolved in nitric acid, producing the manganese(II) ion and nitrogen dioxide gas. This solution is then reacted with an acidic solution containing periodate ion; the products are the permanganate and iodate ions. Write balanced chemical equations for both of these steps.
