ANSWER:

Problem 23.36

Write the formula for each of the following compounds, being sure to use brackets to indicate the coordination sphere:

(a) tetraaquadibromomanganese(III) perchlorate

(b) bis(bipyridyl)cadmium(II) chloride

(c) potassium tetrabromo(ortho-phenanthroline)-cobaltate (III)

(d) cesium diamminetetracyanochromate(III)

(e) tris(ethylenediamine)rhodium(III) tris(oxalato)- cobaltate(III)

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 5

(a)

From the given,

The name of the compound -  tetraaquadibromomananese(lll) perchlorate.

In this complex,

The central metal atom  -  Mn (manganese)

Let’s identify the number of each type of ligand in this complex

Tetraaqua - $$ \mathrm {H_{2}O} $$ four  ligands

Dibromo - Two bromine ligands

The formula of perchlorate $$ \mathrm {ClO_{4}^{-}} $$ ion -

The roman numeral in parentheses indicates the oxidation number of manganese in the complex

Therefore, the formula of the  $$
\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Br}_{2}\right] \mathrm{ClO}_{3}
$$ compound is .
