The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of x, y, and z in the complex \([Cr(C_2O_4)_{x}(en)_{y}(O_2)_{z}]^{\Theta}\) given that the coordination number of Cr is 6 and considering the charges of the ligands involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordination Number and Ligands:** - The coordination number of Cr is given as 6. - The ligands involved are: - \(C_2O_4^{2-}\) (oxalate ion) which has a coordination number of 2. - \(en\) (ethylenediamine) which is a neutral ligand and has a coordination number of 2. - \(O_2^{-}\) (superoxide) which has a coordination number of 1. 2. **Set Up the Charge Balance Equation:** - The overall charge of the complex is given as \(-1\). - The charge contributions from each component: - Cr contributes +3 (since it is in +3 oxidation state). - Each \(C_2O_4^{2-}\) contributes -2, so for x ligands, it contributes \(-2x\). - Each \(en\) contributes 0, so for y ligands, it contributes \(0y\). - Each \(O_2^{-}\) contributes -1, so for z ligands, it contributes \(-z\). - The charge balance equation can be written as: \[ +3 - 2x - z = -1 \] - Rearranging gives us: \[ 2x + z = 4 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 3. **Set Up the Coordination Number Equation:** - The total coordination number must equal 6: - From \(C_2O_4^{2-}\), x ligands contribute \(2x\). - From \(en\), y ligands contribute \(2y\). - From \(O_2^{-}\), z ligands contribute \(1z\). - The coordination number equation can be written as: \[ 2x + 2y + z = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 4. **Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:** - From Equation 1, we can express z in terms of x: \[ z = 4 - 2x \] - Substitute this into Equation 2: \[ 2x + 2y + (4 - 2x) = 6 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 2y + 4 = 6 \] \[ 2y = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 1 \] 5. **Find Values of x and z:** - Now substitute \(y = 1\) back into Equation 1: \[ 2x + z = 4 \] - We can express z in terms of x again: \[ z = 4 - 2x \] - Since y must be a positive integer, and both x and z must also be positive integers, we can test integer values for x: - If \(x = 1\): \[ z = 4 - 2(1) = 2 \] - If \(x = 2\): \[ z = 4 - 2(2) = 0 \quad \text{(not allowed)} \] - Thus, the only solution is \(x = 1\), \(y = 1\), and \(z = 2\). ### Final Answer: \[ x = 1, \quad y = 1, \quad z = 2 \]
