Ans; (H2O)6Fe3+ gives H+ because these type of metal complexes are acidic in nature. as the positive charge increases the Lewis acidity of metal increases. The positive charge on metal i.e Fe3+ attracts electron density from the Oxygen atom of H2O molecule so the electrons in turn get pulled towards oxygen even more than usual. That leaves the hydrogen nuclei more exposed than normal. Now the hydrogen atoms attached to oxygen are sufficiently positively charged & pulled off in reaction involving water molecules in solution which act as Lewis base.
whereas
incase of hydrated anion such as (H2O)6Cl do not give H+ ion
because in this case the complex is not acidic enough. Anion act as
Lewis base so it doesn't pull electron density from oxygen atom
efficiently as compare to metal ions. So hydrogen attached to
oxygen atom is not positive enough to get loss in water
solution.

2nd part only the pH is correct.
Metal ions in aqueous solutions are solvated, or hydrated, by water molecules. Typically this primary hydration sphere is composed of six water molecules. The hydrated metal ion acts as a weak acid, undergoing a stepwise hydrolysis in which it donates an Htion from its water ligands to the surrounding free water molecules. Shown is the hydrolysis of Al(H,0) (pKA = 4.85) in water. Al(H,0)(aq) + H20(1) - 1,0+ (aq) + Al( HO), OH...

15 Which of the following is the reason why an aquaporin does not pass ions (such as Na+) through? A. The Nations are too small to pass through the pore rapidly enough B. The Nations are too large to pass through the narrow pore C. The Nations do not favorably interact with the wall of the pore and therefore cannot be dehydrated D. Two Asn residues in the channel prevent the passage of Na+ ions. E. A Na+ ion must...
2. The following question is mostly a review of General Chemistry. You may need to consult your old chemistry texts or notes from other classes to refresh your memory on some of these things. If you aren't having much success with questions 1-3, at least do question 4, which doesn't really depend on your answer to 1-3. Consider the following balanced equation for the hydrolysis of hydrated metal ions of a. Write the equilibrium constant expression for this dissociation. (The...
