Chapter 22, Problem 46AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A comment on the structures of the two geometric isomers of the given complex is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

An isomer of a molecule is defined as the structure that has the same number of atoms of each element, but has a different arrangement of the atoms.

Geometric isomerism is exhibited by coordination compounds due to the structural positioning of the ligands. When two ligands are placed adjacent to each other, they are called cis-isomers, and when they are placed opposite to each other, they are called trans-isomers.

Geometric isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism that occurs due to the breaking of chemical bonds. It is more common in square planar and octahedral complexes.

One of the steps for refining silver involves converting silver into dicyanoargenate(I) ions:      4Ag(s) + 8CN−(aq) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) ⟶ 4[Ag(CN)2]−(aq) + 4OH−(aq)Explain why oxygen must be present to carry out the reaction. Why does the reaction not occur as:            4Ag(s) + 8CN−(aq) ⟶ 4[Ag(CN)2−(aq)?
K2Cr207 + 7H2C204 · 2H2O 2K[Cr(C204)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O + 6CO2 + 13H2O Is this is redox reaction? if so, what element is being oxidized? what is initial and final oxidation state?
