The correct Answer is:
To find the oxidation states of chromium (Cr) in the given coordination compounds, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of Cr in `[Cr(H₂O)₆]Cl₃` 1. **Identify the components**: The complex is `[Cr(H₂O)₆]` and there are 3 chloride ions (Cl⁻). 2. **Determine the charge of Cl**: Each Cl has a charge of -1, so for 3 Cl ions, the total charge is -3. 3. **Calculate the charge on the complex**: Since the total charge from Cl is -3, the charge on the complex `[Cr(H₂O)₆]` must be +3 to balance it out. 4. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of Cr be \( x \). The water ligands (H₂O) are neutral (0 charge). \[ x + 0 = +3 \] 5. **Solve for x**: \[ x = +3 \] ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation state of Cr in `[Cr(C₆H₆)₂]` 1. **Identify the components**: The complex is `[Cr(C₆H₆)₂]`. 2. **Determine the charge of C₆H₆**: Benzene (C₆H₆) is a neutral ligand, contributing 0 charge. 3. **Calculate the charge on the complex**: Since both ligands are neutral, the overall charge of the complex is 0. 4. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of Cr be \( x \). \[ x + 0 = 0 \] 5. **Solve for x**: \[ x = 0 \] ### Step 3: Determine the oxidation state of Cr in `K₂[Cr(CN)₂(O)₂(O₂)(NH₃)]` 1. **Identify the components**: The complex is `[Cr(CN)₂(O)₂(O₂)(NH₃)]` and there are 2 potassium ions (K⁺). 2. **Determine the charge of K**: Each K has a charge of +1, so for 2 K ions, the total charge is +2. 3. **Determine the charges of ligands**: - CN⁻ has a charge of -1, so for 2 CN, the total is -2. - O (oxide) has a charge of -2, so for 2 O, the total is -4. - O₂ (peroxide) has a charge of -2. - NH₃ is neutral (0 charge). 4. **Calculate the total charge from ligands**: \[ -2 (from \, CN) + -4 (from \, O) + -2 (from \, O₂) + 0 (from \, NH₃) = -8 \] 5. **Calculate the charge on the complex**: The overall charge of the complex must balance the +2 from K, so: \[ \text{Charge on complex} = -2 (from K) + 8 (from ligands) = -2 \] 6. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of Cr be \( x \). \[ x + (-8) = -2 \] 7. **Solve for x**: \[ x - 8 = -2 \implies x = +6 \] ### Summary of Oxidation States - In `[Cr(H₂O)₆]Cl₃`, the oxidation state of Cr is **+3**. - In `[Cr(C₆H₆)₂]`, the oxidation state of Cr is **0**. - In `K₂[Cr(CN)₂(O)₂(O₂)(NH₃)]`, the oxidation state of Cr is **+6**. ### Final Answer The oxidation states of Cr in the respective compounds are: 1. +3 2. 0 3. +6
