10. Solutions of the complexes [Co(NH3)6]2+, [Co(H2O)6]2+ (both Oh), and [CoCl4]2- show color. One is pink, another is yellow, and the third is blue. Considering the spectrochemical series and the relative magnitudes of ΔT and ΔO.
(a) Assign the correct color to each complex. (5 pts.).
(b) Order the complexes in their increasing ΔT or ΔO magnitude (5 pts.)
(c) Where would you most likely see absorption of light in these complexes? (state possible wavelengths in nm) (5 pts.)
(d) Calculate a possible ΔT or ΔO for each of these complexes (8 pts.)
