3. An electrode, which holds a constant potential throughout a titration, regardless of the concentration of various reagents in solution, is called a(n): a. Glass electrode b. Reference electrode c. Indicator electrode d. Specific ion electrode 4. Determine the number of ions that would form in solution when the following compounds are dissolved in water. Complex Number of Ions K3[Fe(CN)6] [PtBr3(NH3)3]Br [Co(NH3)4Cl2]ClH2O [Mn(CN)3(CO)3]Br2 4 2 2 3

5. Ima Student prepares a different cobalt complex with the formula Co(NH3)3Cl3. 11.5 g of CoCl22 H2O is mixed with 10.8 g of NH4Cl. Enough extra NaCl to provide enough chloride ions. Ima isolates 11.46 g of the complex. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

11.5 g CoCl2 i2H2O x 10.8 g NH4 Cl x

mol 1 mol complex 216.38 g x x = 15.0 g complex 165.87 g 1 mol CoCl2 i2H2O mol

mol 1 mol complex 216.38 g x x = 14.56 g complex 53.49 g 3 mol NH4 Cl mol

NH4Cl is the limiting reagent! 11.46 g % yield = = 78.7% 14.56 g

% yield = 78.7%
