[Fe(CN)(6)]^(4-) and [Fe(H(2)O)(6)]^(2+)...

`[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)` and `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` are of different colours in dilute solutions why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the complexes `[Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻` and `[Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺` exhibit different colors in dilute solutions, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes**: - The first complex is `[Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻`. - The second complex is `[Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺`. ...

A : K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)] and K_(3) [Fe(CN)_(6)] have different magnetic moment.. R: Magnetic moment is decided by the number of unpaired electron and both have different number of unpaired electrons.

Assertion : The blue precipitate formed by the action of K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)] on Fe^(3+) and by that of K_(2)[Fe(CN)_(6)] on Fe^(2+) have the same composition Reasion : [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-) oxides Fe^(2+) to Fe^(3-) and itself gets reduced to [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-) .
