The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the magnetic moments of the two complexes of empirical formula `Ni(NH₃)₄(NO₃)₂·2H₂O`, we will analyze the information given step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first complex The first complex has a magnetic moment (μ) of 0 BM. - **Magnetic moment formula**: \[ \mu = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \] where \( n \) is the number of unpaired electrons. - Since μ = 0, we can conclude that: \[ n(n + 2) = 0 \implies n = 0 \] This means that there are no unpaired electrons in the first complex. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation state of Nickel in the first complex In the first complex, we have: - Ligands: 4 NH₃ (neutral) and 2 NO₃⁻ (each with a charge of -1). - Let the oxidation state of Nickel (Ni) be \( x \). The overall charge of the complex is neutral (0): \[ x + 0 + (-2) = 0 \implies x = +2 \] Thus, Nickel is in the +2 oxidation state. ### Step 3: Analyze the second complex The second complex has a magnetic moment (μ) of 2.84 BM. - Using the magnetic moment formula again: \[ 2.84 = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \] Squaring both sides: \[ 2.84^2 = n(n + 2) \implies 8.0656 = n(n + 2) \] This can be approximated to: \[ n(n + 2) \approx 8 \implies n^2 + 2n - 8 = 0 \] Solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: \[ n = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 32}}{2} = \frac{-2 \pm 6}{2} \] This gives us: \[ n = 2 \quad (\text{since } n \text{ must be non-negative}) \] Thus, there are 2 unpaired electrons in the second complex. ### Step 4: Determine the oxidation state of Nickel in the second complex The second complex is not neutral, which means it has a net charge. Assuming the same ligands: - 4 NH₃ (neutral) and 2 NO₃⁻ (each with a charge of -1). - The oxidation state of Nickel is still \( x \). Let’s denote the charge of the second complex as \( +1 \) (since it is not neutral): \[ x + 0 + (-2) = +1 \implies x - 2 = 1 \implies x = +3 \] Thus, Nickel is in the +3 oxidation state in the second complex. ### Step 5: Identify the number of water molecules of crystallization - In the first complex, the 2 water molecules (2H₂O) are outside the coordination sphere and are considered as water of crystallization. - In the second complex, the 2 water molecules are not mentioned to be outside the coordination sphere, which means they are likely part of the coordination sphere and thus not counted as water of crystallization. ### Conclusion The number of water molecules of crystallization for the two complexes are: - First complex: 2 - Second complex: 0 ### Final Answer The number of water molecules of crystallization are respectively **2 and 0**. ---
