Initially, cupric cyanide is formed, Cu(CN)2​.

CuSO4​ + 2KCN → K2​CO4 ​+ Cu(CN)2​

Cupric Cyanide will decompose to produce cuprous cyanide,Cu2​(CN)2​.

2Cu(CN)​→ 2Cu2​(CN)2​ + 2(CN)

Cuprous cyanide reacts with an excess of KCN to form a complex, K3​[Cu(CN)4​], which is a stable complex.

CuCN + 3Ka → K3​[Cu(CN)4​].

Answer
  1. Fe2​(SO4​)3​

Explanation:

[Fe(CN)6​]3− and [Fe(CN)6​]4−​ are complex ions.

They retain their identity in the solution.

Hence, they will not give Fe3+ ions in the solution.

NH4​(SO4​)2​.FeSO4​.6H2​O is a double salt.

In the solution, it breaks into individual ions, but it will give Fe2+ ions in the solution.

Similarly, Fe2​(SO4​)3​​ also breaks into individual ions.

Hence, they will give Fe3+ ions in the solution.

Names of the anionic ligands end with suffix '-o'. The name of the central metal atom is written at the end along with its oxidation state in Roman numeral, which is (II) for the central metal atom "platinum". Note the "chlorido" is preferred term/ name over chloro for chloride ion as a ligand as per modern trend.

  • A
    2
  • B
    3
  • C
    4

Transition metals are coloured due to the following electronic transition:
  • A
    d - s
  • B
    d - d
  • C
    s - p
  • D
    f - s
Answer
  1. d - d

Explanation:

Transition metals are coloured due to the d-d electronic transition.It's a transition where an electron jumps from one d orbital to another. Normally these are degenerate (the d orbitals have the same energy), but under some conditions, such as the presense of ligands, the degeneracy can be removed so that there is a specific energy (and therefore wavelength) associated with these transitions.

These sorts of transitions sometimes have energies located in the visible band, and it's one reason transition metal ions (and complex ions in particular) tend to be highly colored.

Co-ordination compounds are mostly formed by:
  • A
    s-block elements
  • B
    p-block elements
  • C
    d-block elements
  • D
    f-block elements
Answer
  1. d-block elements

Explanation:

Since 'd' block elements have higher oxidation states and variable oxidation states and their tendency to form co-ordinate bonds due to presence of unpaired electrons, they form co-ordination complexes.

IUPAC name for the complex [Cu(NH3​)4​]SO4​ is:
  • A
    Cupramonium sulphate.
  • B
    Copper sulphate tetraamonia.
  • C
    Tetrammine copper (II) sulphate.
  • D
    Copper amonium (IV) sulphate.
Answer
  1. Tetrammine copper (II) sulphate.

Explanation:

Since 4 amino groups are present, it will be called as tetrammine.

Since copper(II) is the central metal, it will be tetrammine copper(II). Note that we can determine the oxidation number of copper by charge balance.

Now finally since sulphate is the counter ion, it's full name will be tetrammine copper(II) sulphate.

Which of the following compounds would exhibit co-ordination isomerism?
  • A
    [Cr(H2​O)5​]Cl2​
  • B
    [Cr(NH3​)5​][Co(CN)5​]
  • C
    [Cr(en)2​]NO2​
  • D
    [Ni(NH3​)5​][BF4​]3
Answer
  1. [Cr(NH3​)5​][Co(CN)5​]

Explanation:

Co-ordination isomerism is a form of structural isomerism in which the composition of the complexion varies. In a coordination isomer, the total ratio ligand to metal remains the same, but the ligand attached to specific metal ion change. In B option ratio of metal to the ligand is the same and they can exchange their ligands (NH3​,CN).

The CFSE for octahedral [CoCl6]4- is 18,000cm-1. The CFSE for tetrahedral [CoCl4]2- will be:
  • A
    18,000cm-1.
  • B
    16,000cm-1.
  • C
    8,000cm-1.
  • D
    20,000cm-1.
Answer
  1. 8,000cm-1.

Explanation:

CFSE for tetrahedral complex is $\Delta_\text{t}=\Big(\frac{4}{9}\Big)\Delta_0$

$\Delta_\text{t}=\frac{4}{9}\times18,000=8,000\text{cm}^{-1}$

The stability of ferric ion is due to:
  • A
    Half field f-orbital
  • B
    Half field d-orbital
  • C
    Complete field f-orbital
  • D
    Complete field d-orbital
Answer
  1. Half field d-orbital

Explanation:

Fe3+ = 1s22s22p63s23p63d5

d orbital is half filled.So ferric ion is stable.
