Answer:
Correct Answer: 50. (5.92BM)
Solution:
- (i) $Fe^{3+}+3 SCN^{-} \longrightarrow Fe(SCN) _3$ (blood red colouration) Iron (III) thiocyanate
$Fe(SCN) _3+F^{-}$(excess) $\longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { (Hexafluoroferrate) } \\ B}}{\left[FeF _6\right]^{3-}}+3 SCN^{-}$
(ii) Magnetic moment $\left(\mu _S\right)=\sqrt{n(n+2)} BM$
$$ =\sqrt{35} BM=5.92 BM $$
