Q.

If the CFSE of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is -96.0 kJ/mol, this complex will absorb maximum at wavelength _________ nm. (nearest integer) Assume Planck's constant (h)=6.4×10-34J s, Speed of light (c)=3.0×108m/s and Avogadro's constant (NA)=6×1023/mol              [2023]


Ans.

(480)

[Ti(H2O)6]3+

Ti3+ : 3d1  t2g1,0,0eg0,0

CFSE=[-0.4nt2g+0.6neg]Δo

=-96×1036×1023=-0.4Δo

ΔΔo=96×1030.4×6×1023=4×10-19J

ΔΔo=hcλ=4×10-19J

λ=6.4×10-34×3×1084×10-19=4.8×10-7m

λ=480×10-9m

λ=480 nm
