(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the complex [Fe(CN)6]4- has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Rules for naming the complex:
- Name the ligands first, and then the metal atom or ion. A Roman numeral in parentheses denotes the oxidation number of the central metal ion.
- Neutral ligands, such as H2NCH2CH2NH2 (ethylenediamine) have the same name as the molecule, except for H2O (aqua), NH3 (ammine), CO (carbonyl), and NO (nitrosyl).
- Anionic ligands end in -o; for anions that end in -ide (such as chloride), -ate (such as sulfate), and -ite (such as nitrite), change the endings as -ide, -ido, ate, -ato, ite, -ito.
Examples: chlorido, sulfato, and nitrito.
- Greek prefixes indicate the number of each type of ligand in the complex ion:2-di, 3-tri, 4-tetra, 5-penta, 6-hexa.
- If the ligand already contains a Greek prefix (such as the diinethylenediamine) or if it is polydentate (able to attach at more than one binding site simultaneously), then the following prefixes are used instead 2-bis, 3-tris, 4-tetrakis.
- Ligands are named in alphabetical order, ignoring any Greek prefix.
- If there is an uncertainty in identifying which atom is linked to the metal atom, then k E is added to the name in parentheses, where E denotes the connecting atom (and k is kappa).
- If the complex has an overall negative charge (an anionic complex), the suffix -ate is added to the stem of the metal’s name. If the symbol of the metal originates from a Latin name, then the Latin stem is used followed by the oxidation number of the metal in Roman numerals.
- The name of a coordination compound (as distinct from a complex cation or anion) is built in the same way as that of a simple compound, with the cation named before the anion.
(a)
Answer to Problem 9C.1E
The name of the complex [Fe(CN)6]4- is Hexacyanoferrate (II).
Explanation of Solution
- The ligand is named first since there are six ligands it is denoted by the Greek prefix ‘hexa’.
- If the anionic ligand name ends in ‘ate the ending must be changed as ‘o’ thus cyanate ligand is named as cyano.
- After naming the ligands the metal must be named with its oxidation number in roman numerals. The oxidation number of iron in the complex is +3. Since, it is an anionic complex Latin name of the metal end in ‘ate’ has to given.
The name of the complex [Fe(CN)6]4- is Hexacyanoferrate (II).
(b)
Interpretation:
The name of the complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ has to be given
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(b)
Answer to Problem 9C.1E
The name of the complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ is hexaamminecobalt (III)
Explanation of Solution
- The ligand is named first since there are six ligands it is denoted by the Greek prefix ‘hexa’.
- After naming the ligand the metal must be named with its oxidation number in roman numerals. The oxidation number of cobalt in the complex is +3.
The name of the complex [Co(NH3)6]3+ is hexaamminecobalt (III).
(c)
Interpretation:
The name of the complex [Co(CN)5(OH2)]2- has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Answer to Problem 9C.1E
The name of the complex [Co(CN)5(OH2)]2- is aquapentacyanocobaltae (III).
Explanation of Solution
- The complex has two ligands that water and cyanate, if there is more than one ligand then the ligand is named as in the alphabetical order thus ‘aqua’ ligand is named first.
- If the anionic ligand name ends in ‘ate’ the ending must be changed as ‘o’ thus cyanate ligand is named as cyano since there is five ligands it is denoted by the Greek prefix ‘penta.’
- After naming the ligands in the parentheses the metal must be named with its oxidation number in roman numerals. The oxidation number of cobalt in the complex is +3. Since, it is an anionic complex Latin name of the metal end in ‘ate’ has to given.
The name of the complex [Co(CN)5(OH2)]2- is aquapentacyanocobaltae (III).
(d)
Interpretation:
The name of the complex [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]+ has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Answer to Problem 9C.1E
The name of the complex [Co(NH3)5(SO4)]+ is pentamminesulphatocobalt (III).
Explanation of Solution
- The complex has two ligands that
amine and sulphate, if there is more than one ligand then the ligand is named as in the alphabetical order thus ‘amine’ ligand is named first since there is five ligands it is denoted by the Greek prefix ‘penta.’ - If the anionic ligand name ends in ‘ate’ the ending must be changed as ‘o’ thus sulphate ligand is named as sulphato
- After naming the ligands in the parentheses the metal must be named with its oxidation number in roman numerals. The oxidation number of cobalt in the complex is +3.

- Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardHow will you prepare the following buffers? 2.5 L of 1.5M buffer, pH = 10.5 from NH4Cl and NH3arrow_forward
