Chemistry Question on Importance and Applications of Coordination Compounds
If the CFSE of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is −960kJ/mol, this complex will absorb maximum at wavelength ___nm (nearest integer) Assume Planck's constant (h)=64×10−34Js, Speed of light (c)=30×108m/s and Avogadro's Constant (NA)=6×1023/mol
Answer
(Ti+3(H2O)6)3+
Ti+3:3d1
C.F.S.E. =−0.4×Δ0
=−N096×103J
Δ0=0.4×6×102396×103
⇒λhc=0.4×6×102396×103
λ=96×1030.4×6×1023×6.4×10−34×3×108
=0.48×10−6m
=480×10−9m
=480nm
So , the correct answer is 480.
