compounds (which range up to +7 in oxidation state) are intimately bound up with electrochemistry.
(a) The Winkler method is an analytical procedure for determining the amount of oxygen dissolved
in water. In the first step, Mn(OH)2(s) is oxidized by gaseous oxygen to Mn(OH)3(s) in basic
aqueous solution. Write the oxidation and reduction half-equations for this step, and write the
balanced overall equation. Then calculate the standard voltage that would be measured if this
reaction were carried out in an electrochemical cell.

8. (Total 12 pts) Cisplatin, a simple square planar complex of platinum(Pt), has a molecular formula
of PtCl2(NH3)2.
(a) Draw the geometric isomers of cisplatin.
(Answer)
(b) In cisplatin, two ammonia ligands are in cis position to each other. What is the structure of
cisplatin?
(Answer)
(c) Is cisplatin diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
(Answer)
(d) The salt K2[PtCl4] is red, but [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2•H2O is colorless. In what regions of the spectrum do
the dominant absorptions for these compounds lie?
(Answer)
9. (Total 8 pts) Experiments can measure not only whether a compound is paramagnetic, but also
the number of unpaired electrons. It is found that the octahedral complex ion [Fe(CN)6]3- has fewer
unpaired electrons than the octahedral complex ion [Fe(OH2)6]3+. How many unpaired electrons are
present in each species? In each case, express the CFSE in terms of ∆o.

10. (Total 11 pts)
(a) Iron(III) forms octahedral complexes. Sketch the structures of all the distinct isomers of
[Fe(en)2Cl2]+. (en = ethylenediamine, the en ligand can be represented as N------N.)
(Answer)
(b) The complex [Ni(NH3)6]2+ has a ligand field splitting of 209 kJ mol-1 and forms a purple solution.
What is the wavelength and color of the absorbed light?
(Answer)
(c) The complex [Co(CN)6]3- is pale yellow. How many unpaired electrons are present in the
complex?
(Answer)
(d) If ammonia molecules replace the cyanide ions as ligands in the complex [Co(CN)6]3-, will the
wavelength of the radiation absorbed be longer or shorter?
