Identify true and false statements:
$(a)$ In the reaction $F_2 + O_2 \to O_2F_2$,oxygen is an oxidising agent.
$(b)$ Among $HClO, HClO_2, HClO_3$ and $HClO_4$,$HClO_2$ is the strongest acid.
$(c)$ Oxidation state of Nickel in $[Ni(CO)_4]$ is zero.
$(d)$ The reaction $BaO_2 + H_2SO_4 \to BaSO_4 + H_2O_2$ is a redox reaction.
The correct order of truth values is:
A
$T, F, F, F$
B
$T, F, F, T$
C
$F, F, T, F$
D
$F, T, F, T$

Solution

(C) In $F_2 + O_2 \to O_2F_2$,fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen,so fluorine is reduced and oxygen is oxidized. Thus,oxygen acts as a reducing agent,not an oxidizing agent. Statement $(a)$ is $False$.
$(b)$ The acidic strength of oxoacids of chlorine increases with the number of oxygen atoms: $HClO < HClO_2 < HClO_3 < HClO_4$. Thus,$HClO_4$ is the strongest acid. Statement $(b)$ is $False$.
$(c)$ In $[Ni(CO)_4]$,$CO$ is a neutral ligand (oxidation state $0$). Therefore,the oxidation state of $Ni$ is $0$. Statement $(c)$ is $True$.
$(d)$ In $BaO_2 + H_2SO_4 \to BaSO_4 + H_2O_2$,the oxidation states of all elements remain unchanged $(Ba: +2, O: -1, H: +1, S: +6)$. It is a double displacement reaction,not a redox reaction. Statement $(d)$ is $False$.
Therefore,the correct order is $F, F, T, F$.

Question diagram
A
$3$
B
$6$
C
$4$
D
$5$

Solution

(A) The complex is $[(H_2O)_4Cr(\mu-OH)(\mu-O_2)Cr(H_2O)_4]^{n+}$ (Note: The provided structure is a $\mu$-peroxo and $\mu$-hydroxo bridged complex).
Assuming the structure contains one $\mu$-peroxo $(O_2^{2-})$ bridge and one $\mu$-hydroxo $(OH^-)$ bridge:
Let the oxidation state of $Cr$ be $x$.
Total charge on the complex = $3+$.
Sum of oxidation states = $2x + 4(0) + 4(0) + (-1) + (-2) = +3$.
$2x - 3 = +3$.
$2x = 6$.
$x = +3$.
Thus,the oxidation state of $Cr$ is $+3$.

C
$[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ and $[Cu(CN)_4]^{2-}$
D
$[FeCl_4]^-$ and $Co_2O_3$

Solution

(A) To determine the highest oxidation state,we calculate the oxidation number for each metal:
$1$. $MnO_4^-$: Let $x$ be the oxidation state of $Mn$. $x + 4(-2) = -1 \implies x = +7$. $CrO_2Cl_2$: Let $y$ be the oxidation state of $Cr$. $y + 2(-2) + 2(-1) = 0 \implies y = +6$. Both $Mn$ $(+7)$ and $Cr$ $(+6)$ are in their highest possible oxidation states.
$2$. $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$: $Ni$ is $+2$; $[CoCl_4]^{2-}$: $Co$ is $+2$.
$3$. $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$: $Fe$ is $+3$; $[Cu(CN)_4]^{2-}$: $Cu$ is $+2$.
$4$. $[FeCl_4]^-$: $Fe$ is $+3$; $Co_2O_3$: $Co$ is $+3$.
Thus,the pair $MnO_4^-$ and $CrO_2Cl_2$ contains metals in their highest oxidation states.

MediumMCQ
The oxidation number and coordination number of cobalt in $K[Co(CO)_4]$ are
A
$+1, 4$
B
$0, 4$
C
$-1, 8$
D
$-1, 4$

Solution

(D) The oxidation number of $K$ is $+1$ and the ligand $CO$ is neutral (oxidation number $= 0$).
Let the oxidation number of $Co$ be $x$.
In the complex $K[Co(CO)_4]$,the sum of oxidation states is zero:
$1 + (x + 4 \times 0) = 0$
$x + 1 = 0$
$x = -1$
Thus,the oxidation number of $Co$ is $-1$.
The coordination number is determined by the number of donor atoms attached to the central metal atom. Since $CO$ is a monodentate ligand and there are $4$ of them,the coordination number is $4$.
Therefore,the oxidation number is $-1$ and the coordination number is $4$.

D
Tetraamminedichloridochromium $(IV)$ nitrate

Solution

(A) $1$. Identify the ligands: There are $4$ ammine $(NH_3)$ ligands and $2$ chlorido $(Cl^-)$ ligands. According to alphabetical order,'ammine' comes before 'chlorido'.
$2$. Name the coordination sphere: The ligands are named as 'tetraammine' and 'dichlorido'. The metal is chromium. Since the complex ion is cationic,the metal name remains 'chromium'.
$3$. Determine the oxidation state of $Cr$: Let the oxidation state be $x$. $x + 4(0) + 2(-1) = +1$ (since $NO_3$ is $-1$). $x - 2 = +1$,so $x = +3$.
$4$. Combine the parts: The name is 'tetraamminedichloridochromium $(III)$ nitrate'.

A
both $Fe$ atoms are in the same oxidation state
B
both $Fe$ atoms are in different oxidation state
C
the coordination number of the iron ion is $4$
D
the complex is a high spin complex

Solution

(A) The complex $K_2Fe[Fe(CN)_6]$ is also known as Prussian blue or Turnbull's blue depending on the synthesis,but here we analyze the oxidation states.
Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$.
$2(+1) + x + [x + 6(-1)] = 0$
$2 + x + x - 6 = 0$
$2x = 4$
$x = +2$
Both iron atoms are in the $+2$ oxidation state.
The coordination number of the central $Fe$ atom in the $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$ ion is $6$ because it is surrounded by $6$ $CN^-$ ligands.
$CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,so the complex is a low spin complex.

A
oxidation state of $Fe$ is $+2$
B
this has $NO^{+}$ as ligand
C
both are correct
D
none is correct

Solution

(C) In sodium nitroprusside,$Na_2[Fe(CN)_5NO]$,the complex ion is $[Fe(CN)_5NO]^{2-}$.
Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$.
The ligand $CN^-$ has a charge of $-1$ and $NO$ acts as a nitrosonium ion $(NO^+)$ with a charge of $+1$.
Applying the charge balance: $x + 5(-1) + 1 = -2$.
$x - 5 + 1 = -2$.
$x - 4 = -2$.
$x = +2$.
Thus,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is $+2$ and the ligand is $NO^+$. Both statements are correct.

Solution

(D) To determine the $IUPAC$ name of $K_2[Cr(CN)_2O_2(O_2)NH_3]$,we first calculate the oxidation state of $Cr$.
Let the oxidation state of $Cr$ be $x$.
The charge on $K$ is $+1$,$CN$ is $-1$,$O$ is $-2$,$O_2$ (peroxo) is $-2$,and $NH_3$ is $0$.
$2(+1) + x + 2(-1) + 1(-2) + 1(-2) + 0 = 0$
$2 + x - 2 - 2 - 2 = 0$
$x - 4 = 0$,so $x = +6$.
The complex anion is $[Cr(CN)_2O_2(O_2)NH_3]^{2-}$.
Naming the ligands in alphabetical order: ammine $(NH_3)$,cyano $(CN^-)$,dioxo $(O^{2-})$,and peroxo $(O_2^{2-})$.
Since there are two cyano,two oxo,and one peroxo ligand,the name is Potassium amminedicyanodioxoperoxo chromate $(VI)$.

(C) The $IUPAC$ nomenclature rules for coordination compounds require naming the ligand alphabetically followed by the metal name and its oxidation state.
Option $(A)$ is incorrect because the name should be $Tris(acetylacetonato)iron(III) chloride$ (if it were a salt) or $Tris(acetylacetonato)iron(III)$ (if neutral).
Option $(B)$ is incorrect due to improper naming structure for a bridged or complex salt.
Option $(C)$ is correct: $cis$-dichloro(ethylenediamine)platinum $(II)$ follows the alphabetical order of ligands ($chloro$ before $ethylenediamine$) and correctly specifies the geometry and oxidation state.
Option $(D)$ is incorrect due to the lack of proper alphabetical ordering and oxidation state formatting.

A
$Ni(CO)_4$
B
$(CH_3COO)_2Ni$
C
$NiO$
D
$NiCl_2(PPh_3)_2$

Solution

(A) To determine the oxidation state of nickel $(Ni)$ in each compound:
$1$. In $Ni(CO)_4$,$CO$ is a neutral ligand,so the oxidation state of $Ni$ is $0$.
$2$. In $(CH_3COO)_2Ni$,the acetate ion $(CH_3COO^-)$ has a charge of $-1$,so $Ni + 2(-1) = 0$,which gives $Ni = +2$.
$3$. In $NiO$,oxygen $(O)$ has a charge of $-2$,so $Ni + (-2) = 0$,which gives $Ni = +2$.
$4$. In $NiCl_2(PPh_3)_2$,$Cl$ has a charge of $-1$ and $PPh_3$ is a neutral ligand,so $Ni + 2(-1) + 2(0) = 0$,which gives $Ni = +2$.

A
$2, 1$
B
$2, 2$
C
$2, 3$

$3, 3$

Solution

(B) In the reactant complex $Na_2[Fe(CN)_5NO]$,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is calculated as: $2(+1) + x + 5(-1) + 0 = 0$ (assuming $NO$ is neutral $NO^+$ or $NO$ depending on convention,but standard nitroprusside has $Fe$ in $+2$ state). $x = +2$.
In the product complex $Na_4[Fe(CN)_5NOS]$,the ligand $NOS$ is $NOS^{3-}$. The oxidation state of $Fe$ is calculated as: $4(+1) + x + 5(-1) + (-2) = 0$ $\Rightarrow x - 3 = 0$ $\Rightarrow x = +3$.
However,in the specific reaction of sodium nitroprusside with sulfide,the $Fe$ center remains in the $+2$ oxidation state as the reaction involves the conversion of $NO^+$ to $NOS^-$. Thus,the oxidation state of $Fe$ in both complexes is $+2$.
