A solution of sodium thiosulphate on addition of few drops of ferric chloride gives violet colour due to the formation of
-
Solution
The reaction can be represented as
\(3Na_{2}S_{2}O_{3}+2FeCl_{3}\rightleftharpoons \underset{(Violet)}{Fe_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}}+6NaCl\)
Zinc and mercury do not show variable valency like d-block elements because
-
Solution
30Zn and 80Hg have their d orbitals completely filled so they do not show any variable valency
Oxidation states of the metal in the minerals haematite and magnetite, respectively, are
-
Solution
(i)Haematite is Fe2O3 in which Fe is present in III oxidation state.
(ii)Magnetite (Fe3O4) is an equimolar mixture of FeO and Fe2O3.
Oxidation state of Fe in FeO is II.
Oxidation state of Fe in Fe2O3 is III.
Which of the following combines with Fe (II) ions to form a brown complex?
-
Solution
We know that when nitrogen oxide (NO) combines with Fe (II) ions, a brown complex is formed. This reaction is called brown ring test.
A blue colouration is not obtained when
-
Solution
\(2CuSO_{4}+K_{4}[Fe(CN)6]\rightarrow \underset{Chocolate\, ppt.}{Cu_{2}[Fe(CN)_{6}]}+2K_{2}SO_{4}\)
For d block elements the first ionization potential is of the order :
-
Solution
The ionisation energies increase with increase in atomic number. However, the trend is some irregular among d-block elements. On the basis of electronic configuration,the
Zn : 1s2 2s2 p6 d10 4s2
Fe : 1s2 2s2 p6 d6 4s2
Cu : 1s2 2s2 p6 d10 4s1
Cr : 1s2 2s2 p6 d5 4s1
IE1 follows the order : Zn > Fe > Cu > Cr
