In brown ring Fe and NO exist as Fe + and NO + rather than Fe 2 + and NO. These forms can be differentiated by
Options
- AMeasuring the conductivity of an aqueous solution of the complex
- BBy careful crystallization of the complex under special conditions and measuring the magnetic moment in solid
- CEstimating the concentration of iron
- DDetermining elevation in boiling point using the complex as solute
Correct answer
B. By careful crystallization of the complex under special conditions and measuring the magnetic moment in solid
Step-by-step solution
When the combination is Fe 2 + and NO, there will be 5 unpaired electrons in the complex ( 4 in Fe 2 + and 1 in NO) and when the combination is Fe + and NO + , there will be only 3 unpaired electrons which can be differentiated by measuring the magnetic moments.
