QJEEM21Chf249: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM21Chf249 Solution: The sum of oxidation states of two silver ions in [Ag(NH 3 ) 2…
The sum of oxidation states of two silver ions in [Ag(NH3)2] [Ag(CN)2] complex is _____________.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
[Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2] complex dissociates into [Ag(NH3)2]+ and [Ag(CN)2].
Oxidation of Ag in [Ag(NH3)2]+
Ag + 0 2 = + 1
Ag = + 1
Oxidation state of Ag in [Ag(CN)2]
Ag + ( 1) 2 = 1
Ag 2 = 1
Ag = + 1
Sum of oxidation states of two silver ions in [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2] complex is 2.
Oxidation of Ag in [Ag(NH3)2]+
Ag + 0 2 = + 1
Ag = + 1
Oxidation state of Ag in [Ag(CN)2]
Ag + ( 1) 2 = 1
Ag 2 = 1
Ag = + 1
Sum of oxidation states of two silver ions in [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2] complex is 2.
