Question 4 Answer all parts. (a) Predict whether the [Cr(NH3)6]Cl2 complex will be high or low spin configuration knowing that the observed magnetic moment is Mobs= 3.3 B.M. Clearly explain your answer. [5 marks] (b) How will a F free-ion term split in a high-spin octahedral or tetrahedral field? Clearly explain your answer. [5 marks] a (c) The action of air and water on aqueous [Co(H20)6]C13 unusually results in a reduction of the cobalt complex to produce ozone and hydrochloric acid. (i) Write the redox half-equations for this reaction and use them to write a full, balanced equation. [6 marks] (ii) What is the driving force for this reaction?
