Answers
Answer:
CHEMISTRY
A solution is defined as a:
A .
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
B .
Heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances
C .
Homogeneous mixture of liquid and solid components only
D .
Homogeneous mixture consisting of water as one of the components
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution may exist in any phase.
A solution consists of a solute and a solvent.
The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
For example, in a saline solution, salt is the solute dissolved in water as the solvent.
Correct Question:
Determine the coordination number of the inner transition metal in the following complex: [La(acetylacetone)3(H20)]
Correct Answer:
The coordination number of the inner transition metal in the given coordination complex is Seven (7).
- The compound acetylacetone is a bidentate lig and.
- On the other hand, water is a monodentate lig and.
- Since there are three acetylacetone molecules, the coordination number due to them is six.
- One water molecule contributes 1 coordination number.
- So, the total coordination number of the Lanthanide becomes Seven (7).
