Coordination Compounds 2 Question 28

####30. The equation which is balanced and represents the correct product(s) is

(2014 Main)

(a) Li2O+2KCl2LiCl+K2O

(b) [CoCl(NH3)5]++5H+Co2++5NH4++Cl

(c) [Mg(H2O)6]2++( EDTA )4 Excess NaOH

[Mg( EDTA )]2++6H2O

(d) CuSO4+4KCNK2[Cu(CN)4]+K2SO4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 30. (c)

Solution:

  1. This problem is based on conceptual mixing of properties of lithium oxide and preparation, properties of coordination compounds. To answer this question, keep in mind that on adding acid, ammine complexes get destroyed.

(a) Li2O+KCl2LiCl+K2O

This is wrong equation, since a stronger base K2O cannot be generated by a weaker base Li2O.

(b) [CoCl(NH3)5]++5H+Co2+(aq)+5NH4++Cl

This is correct. All ammine complexes can be destroyed by adding H. Hence, on adding acid to [CoCl(NH3)5], it gets converted to Co2+(aq)+NH4+and Cl.

(c) [Mg(H2O)6]2++ EDTA 4 Excess OH[Mg( EDTA )]2++6H2O

This is wrong, since the formula of complex must be [Mg( EDTA )]2+ as EDT.

(d) The 4th reaction is incorrect. It can be correctly represented as

2CuSO4+10KCN2K3[Cu(CN)4] +2K2SO4+(CN)2
