(5)

$E_{{Co}^{3 +} / {Co}^{2 +}}^{\circ} = + 1.97 V$

Since $E_{{Co}^{3 +} / {Co}^{2 +}}^{\circ} > 0, {Co}^{3 +}$ is a strong oxidizing agent.

${Co}^{3 +} = {}_{18} [Ar] 3 d^{6}$

Number of unpaired electrons in ${Co}^{3 +} (n) = 4$

Spin only magnetic moment $(μ)$

$= \sqrt{n (n + 2)} BM = \sqrt{4 (4 + 2)} BM = 4.9 BM \approx 5 BM$

Solution

Q. The spin-only magnetic moment value of the ion among Ti2+,V2+,Co3+ and Cr2+, that acts as strong oxidising agent in aqueous solution is _______ B.M. (Near integer). (Given atomic numbers : Ti : 22, V : 23, Cr : 24, Co : 27) [2024]

Ans. (5) ECo3+/Co2+∘=+1.97 V Since ECo3+/Co2+∘>0, Co3+ is a strong oxidizing agent. Co3+=18[Ar]3d6 Number of unpaired electrons in Co3+(n)=4 Spin only magnetic moment (μ) =n(n+2) BM=4(4+2) BM=4.9 BM≈5 BM
