Define Lewis acid and Lewis base | Lewis acid- electron pair acceptor, Lewis base-electron pair donor |
Give the formula of metal-aqua ions formed when iron(II), copper(II), iron (III) and aluminium ions in aqueous solution. | [Fe(H2O)6]2+, [Cu(H2O)6]2+,, [Fe(H2O)6]3+,[Al(H2O)6]3+, |
Explain why [Fe(H2O)6]3+, is more acidic than [Fe(H2O)6]2+, | Fe3+ is more charge dense than Fe2+ , because it is smaller and has a higher charge. This means it has a bigger polarising effect on its water ligands. This weakens the 0—H bond in the water ligand so more likely to hydrolyse in the presence of water. |
Describe what you would observe and give an equation for the reaction between [Fe(H20)6]2+ and a few drops of sodium hydroxide. | Green solution forms a green precipitate [Fe(H2O)6]2+ + 20H- ---> [Fe(H20)4(OH)2 + 2H2O |
"Describe what you would observe and give an equation for the reaction between [Fe(H20)6]2+ and a few drops of ammonia . | " Green solution forms a green precipitate [Fe(H20)6]2+ + 2NH3 ------> [Fe(H20)4(OH)2] + 2NH4+ |
State and explain what happens to the transition metal containing product of the above reaction if the reaction mixture is left to stand in air. | The green precipitate turns brown as the iron (II) is oxidised to iron (Ill) by the oxygen in air |
Describe what you would observe and give an equation for the reaction between [Fe(H20)6]2+ and a few drops of sodium carbonate. | Green solution forms a green precipitate [Fe(H20)6]2+ + CO32 - ------.> FeCO3 + 6H20 |

Describe what you would observe and give an equation for the reaction between [Cu(H20)6]2+ and a few drops of sodium carbonate. | Blue solution forms a Blue precipitate [Cu(H20)6]2+ + CO32 - ------.> CuCO3 + 6H20 |
Describe what you would observe and give an equation for the reaction between [Al(H20)6]3+ and a few drops of sodium hydroxide. | Colourless solution forms a white precipitate [Al(H2O)6]3+ + 30H- ---> [Al(H20)3(OH)3] + 3H2O |
