  • question_answer
    EAN of cobalt is 36 in \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}(en)Cl].\] Thus, \[{{O}_{2}}\]is

    A)  super oxide

    B)  peroxide

    C)  dioxide

    D)  oxide

    E)  Nacent oxygen

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[[\underset{m}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{Co}}\,}}\,\underset{0}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,}}\,\underset{n}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{{{O}_{2}}}}\,}}\,\underset{0}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{(en)}}\,}}\,\,\underset{-1}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{Cl}}\,}}\,]\] Let us try hit and trial method \[m+0+n+0-1=0\] Generally, Co shows + 2, + 3 oxidation state \[\therefore \]  If \[m=+\,2\] then \[y=-1\] and        EAN = 27 - 2 + 12 = 37 If             x = + 3 then y = - 2  EAN = 27 - 3 + 12 = 36
