The \(\operatorname{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}^{3+}\) ion is diamagnetic, but \(\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}^{2+}\) is para-magnetic. Explain.
Silver is sometimes found in nature as large nuggets; more often it is found mixed with other metals and their ores. Cyanide ion is often used to extract the silver by the following reaction that occurs in basic solution: $$ \operatorname{Ag}(s)+\mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \stackrel{\text { Basic }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}^{-}(a q) $$
Qualitatively draw the crystal field splitting for a trigonal bipyramidal complex ion. (Let the \(z\) axis be perpendicular to the trigonal plane.)
A compound related to acetylacetone is 1,1,1 -trifluoroacetylacetone (abbreviated Htfa): Htfa forms complexes in a manner similar to acetylacetone. (See Exercise \(47 .\) Both \(\mathrm{Be}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) form complexes with tfa \(^{-}\) having the formula \(\mathrm{M}\) (tfa) \(_{2}\). Two isomers are formed for each metal complex. a. The \(\mathrm{Be}^{2+}\) complexes are tetrahedral. Draw the two isomers of Be(tfa)_2. What type of isomerism is exhibited by \(\mathrm{Be}(\mathrm{tfa})_{2} ?\) b. The \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) complexes are square planar. Draw the two isomers of \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{tfa})_{2} .\) What type of isomerism is exhibited by $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{tfa})_{2} ?
Which of the following ions is(are) expected to form colored octahedral aqueous complex ions? a. \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\) b. \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) c. \(\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}\) d. \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\)
