Why rubies and sapphires are of different colour?
How do u replace OH group with Cl

What was mass of Fe(II) and Fe(III)
i got 0.59 and 1.sth


Same here, is that fe2+ heavier than fe3+?

Nah
Electrons have negligible mass

absorption of different wavelength of light, reflect different observed colour

Talking about the mass of the ions in the solution.....and Fe2+ is not an electron. lol

Because they have different attached ligands or that they have different central metal ion?

I knew, I mean the question asking mass of fe, the mass of fe2+ in 500cm3 is higher than that of fe3+ , am I correct ?

Well, I mean Fe2+ with one more electron than Fe3+ would not be heavier than Fe3+. Both ions have Ar=55.8
oh no instead of saying structure XYZ i directly wrote (metal ion Cl(H2O)5) 2Cl-
do u think it'll be okay?

It has nothing to do with the ligand... it is about the metal ion, the passage did mention sapphire has aluminium while for rudby, some aluminium is replaced by Chromium. And the splitting of d-orbital to a different extent.

Yes, that's what I got.
Mass of Fe2+: 1.xxxg (forgot haha)
Mass of Fe3+: 0.5xxg

Same here! Is that structure Z ?
It should be alright cause it is exactly the answer!

Sure
The question asks about deducing the structure

Same here.. Didn't even notice there was 3 structures XYZ??!

Different ligandssplit the d subshell to a different extent and so electrons requiredifferent amount of energy to promote. e.g. Cu(H2O)6]2+ and [Cu(NH3)4]2+

Not sure what you are talking about.

You have to look at the concentration of the remaining solution plus unreacted solution to get the mass =.= we are not talking about molecular mass difference in here and honestly we still use Ar of Fe to calculate for both ions..

Is the complex structure [CrCl(H20)5]2+?
