A stable metal hydride complex is reduced by one electron. How would that likely affect the pKa and hydricity of the metal hydride?
Answer)
M-H + e- M + H-
when metal hydride complex is reduced by one electron metal takes the electron and get reduced and generate hydride....
To the best, of my knowledge term , hydricity was first used in 1992 for hydricity as parallel to donating ability of hydride, as parallel to acidity and parallel to nucleophilicity. After reduction with one electron hydride will have more electron density so hydride donating ability of metal hydride will increase so hydricity will increase. As hydride donating ability of metal hydride increase acidity will also increase because acidity is directly proportional to hydride donation ability. And pKa is inversely proportional to acidity so pKa will decrease

Among the three metal-NH3 complex ions, which one is most stable? Give its formula and explain. The three complex ion choices are [Ni(NH3)6]^2+, [Co(NH3)6]^2+, and [Cu(NH3)4]^2+
3. Use the 18-electron concept to calculate the number of metal-metal bonds in the multinuclear complex, [Fes(CO)12. Deduce the geometry of the metal-metal framework.
A metal ion M forms a stable complex with the ligand X: M + (aq) + 4 X (aq) ⇌ M (X) 4+ (aq) Kf = 1.0 ∙ 10^20 In a solution where [M +] = 0.100 M and [X] = 0.800 M before reaction, what is [X] at equilibrium?
propose a mechanism involving a hydride shift or a methyl shift for each reaction. Explain how each rearrangement forms a more stable intermediate by using "electron-pushing". CH, I (a) CH-6-CH-CH, CHLOH
How would you experimentally distinguish between an octahedral and square planar d8 metal complex?
How would you test the affect of metal salt (activator) on catalase (an enzyme)? What would the procedure look like and what are the materials that would be needed? In this specific lab, ginger and banana extracts are being used as the catalase concentrations.
1.) Identify the most likely transition metal, M and provide a suitable explanation: a.) A complex ion with the formula [M(H2O)6]3+, where M is a second row transition metal, that has a LFSE (CFSE) of -2.4 (ignoring pairing and exchange energies). Hint: only the low spin configuration is observed in second row transition metals. b.) A tetrahedral complex ion with the formula [MCl4]-, where M is a first row transtion metal, that has five unpaired electrons.
9. In the electron transport chain picture above, how do electrons move from protein complex I to protein complex II? 1. I need you to remember that "Q" is ubiquinone which gets reduced at proteins l & I, and oxidized at protein III. "Reduced" means gains electrons, "oxidized" means loses electrons. 2. I need you to remember how "Q" moves from protein I to protein Do you remember? Don't overthink it, Preeda. As far as scientists know right now, the...
