Which of the two is more stable- `K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]` or `K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two complexes, \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) or \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \), is more stable, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation states of iron in both complexes. - For \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \): - The complex ion is \( [Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \). - Let the oxidation state of iron be \( x \). - Each cyanide ion (CN) has a charge of -1, and there are 6 cyanide ions. - The equation for the charge balance is: ...
