Given below are two statements: In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Answer

(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Statement I:

[CoF6]3-: Co3+, 3d6, weak field F- 4 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic

[TiF6]3-: Ti3+, 3d1 1 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic

V2O5: V5+, 3d0 diamagnetic

[Fe(CN)6]3-: Fe3+, 3d5, strong field CN- t2g5, 1 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic

Number of paramagnetic species = 3. Statement I is true.

Statement II: number of unpaired electrons

K4[Fe(CN)6]: Fe2+, 3d6, strong field t2g6, 0

K3[Fe(CN)6]: Fe3+, 3d5, strong field 1

[Fe(H2O)6]SO4 H2O: Fe2+, 3d6, weak field H2O 4

[Fe(H2O)6]Cl3: Fe3+, 3d5, weak field H2O 5

0 < 1 < 4 < 5, the order given is correct. Statement II is true.

Answer: (4)

Consider a mixture 'X' which is made by dissolving 0.4 mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and 0.4 mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 in water to make 4 L of solution. When 2 L of mixture 'X' is allowed to react with excess of AgNO3, it forms precipitate 'Y'. The rest 2 L of mixture 'X' reacts with excess BaCl2 to form precipitate 'Z'. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

  1. 0.1 mol of 'Y' is formed.
  2. 0.4 mol of 'Z' is formed.
  3. 0.2 mol of 'Z' is formed.
  4. 'Y' is BaSO4 and 'Z' is AgBr.
