Question

Question 5 6 pts A student has three test tubes containing a metal (M) nitrate solution M(NO3)2 (aq) (where "M" represents a generic transition metal). The student adds aqueous ammonia (NH3) to one test tube, aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCI) to the second tube, and nothing more to the third tube, but forgets to label the tubes. After this, one test tube contains a red solution, one an orange solution, and one a yellow solution. Note: This metal, M, would follow the same rules that we used for Cu(II), Ni(l1), and Co(II). The Jahn-Teller Effect does not apply. Complete each statement about the solutions in the three test tubes. The red solution is a coordination complex with (Select] as the ligand. The coordination complex formed by adding HCl to the solution has a coordination number of [Select] The coordination complex causing the orange solution causes a larger splitting between the d orbitals of the metal then the coordination complex causing the [Select] solution. The yellow solution absorbs (Select] light. The yellow solution contains a coordination complex with (Select] as the ligand. The aqua complex causes less splitting of the d orbitals of the metal than the [Select] complex.
