The fact that Y- if replaced by other ions does not affect the rate of reaction means that the rate is not dependent on Y- and it is a first-order or unimolecular reaction. Y- or any other ion just waits for H2O to detach with the shared pair and intermediate to form.
The mechanism of this reaction can be written two steps as follows: (* Note, however, that different mechanism steps are possible but the order of reaction must match the data)
Step 1: [Co(NH3)5(H2O)]3+ [Co(NH3)5]3+ + H2O (slower step; rate-determining)
Step 2: [Co(NH3)5]3+ + Y- [Co(NH3)5 Y]2+ (faster step; does not determine rate)
The rate law for the above reaction: rate = k [[Co(NH3)5(H2O)]3+]; where k is the reaction constant and outer square brackets denote molar concentration.
The reaction coordinate diagram of the above reaction is shown below:

8. Given what you know about substitution reactions of square planar complexes, explain what would happen in the reaction (Pt(NH3)4]2+ + Cl → Pt(NH3)3CIJ* + NH3 if the entering group were changed from Cl to Br. How would the rate be affected? Write the mechanism for the reaction (be sure to designate a rate determining step) and draw a reaction coordinate diagram.
Problems about reaction n 4) The rate law for the substitution of NH3 for H20 in the following reaction is first order in Ni(H2O and zero order in NH3 Ni(H2O)62 + (aq) + NH3(aq) → Ni(H2O)s(NH3)2+ (aq) + H2O (1) Show that the following mechanism is consistent with the experimental rate law. Ni(H2O)62+ (aq) → Ni(H2O)S2+ (aq) +H2O(l) (slow) Ni(H2O),» (aq) + NH3 (aq) → Ni(H2O)5(NH3)2+(aq) (fast)

luction Nucleophilic substitution is a tremendously useful and important reaction in organic chemistry. No s it used extensively in organic synthesis, but some biochemical processes also proceed via nucleophili Litution mechanisms. Often, nucleophilic substitution is one of the first organic reactions covered and it efore very important to understand it thoroughly. This experiment investigates the relative nucleophilicity of chloride and bromide ions. Also of interes ow varying the degree of substitution at the electrophilic center affects the reaction mechanism. The...
Solutions of coordination compounds [Co(H20)2(NH3)3Br]CI and [CoCl(H20)2(NH3)3]Br are placed in two separate test tubes and labelled A and B, respectively. Drops of lead nitrate solution are then added to each test tube. In which test tube do you expect a precipitate of lead chloride to form (Answer with A or B only)? What type of isomers are A and B? [VERY IMPORTANT: Type your answer as follows: letter of choice; name used to describe the isomers (DO NOT write the...
3. According to the textbook (p. 115). the electron transfer reaction rate between [Co(NH3)]** and (Co(NH3).]?(eq. 5.41) is extremely slow whereas that between [Fe(CN).74 and [Fe(CN).]" (eq. 5.42) is very fast. By using the established facts in the box in answering the following questions. 1. According to the molecular orbital theory, the eg orbitals of an MLO octahedral complex are, in fact, M-L anti-bonding orbitals and the tza orbitals are non-bonding orbitals. 2. According to the spectrochemical series, CN is...
