The correct Answer is:
To name sodium nitroprusside according to IUPAC nomenclature, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The formula for sodium nitroprusside is Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]. 2. **Ionization**: When sodium nitroprusside dissociates in solution, it yields: - 2 Na⁺ ions - The complex ion [Fe(CN)5(NO)]²⁻. 3. **Determine the Oxidation State of Iron**: Let the oxidation state of iron (Fe) be x. The ligands CN⁻ (cyano) contribute -1 charge each, and there are 5 of them, contributing a total of -5. The NO (nitrosyl) ligand is neutral (0 charge). The overall charge of the complex ion is -2. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ x + (-5) + 0 = -2 \] Solving for x gives: \[ x - 5 = -2 \implies x = +3 \] Thus, iron is in the +3 oxidation state. 4. **Naming the Ligands**: - The ligand CN⁻ is called "cyano." - The ligand NO is called "nitrosyl." 5. **Construct the Name**: According to IUPAC rules, we start with the ligands in alphabetical order, followed by the metal. Since there are five cyano ligands, we use the prefix "penta-": - "pentacyano" - "nitrosyl" - "iron" (with the suffix "-ate" because the complex has a negative charge, thus it becomes "ferrate"). 6. **Include the Oxidation State**: Since iron is in the +3 oxidation state, we denote this in the name as "ferrate(III)." 7. **Final Name**: Combining all parts, we get the full IUPAC name: **Sodium pentacyanonitrosylferrate(III)**. ### Final Answer: The IUPAC name of sodium nitroprusside is **Sodium pentacyanonitrosylferrate(III)**.
