JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 3rd September Morning Slot - No. 16)

The electronic spectrum of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ shows a single broad peak with a maximum at 20,300 cm-1 . The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) of the complex ion, in kJ mol-1, is :
83.7
242.5
145.5
97

Explanation

[Ti(H2O)6]3+

Ti = [Ar]3d24s2

Ti+3 = [Ar]3d1


For octahedral

Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE)

= (-0.4$$\Delta $$0) $$ \times $$ nt2g + (+0.6$$\Delta $$0) $$ \times $$ neg + np

nt2g = number of electrons in t2g orbital

neg = number of electrons in eg orbital

n = number of extra pairs

p = Pairing energy

Here nt2g = 1

neg = 0

n = 0 ( For weak field ligands n always zero. Here H2O is weak field ligand)

$$ \therefore $$ Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE)

= (-0.4$$\Delta $$0) $$ \times $$ 1 + (+0.6$$\Delta $$0) $$ \times $$ 0 + 0$$ \times $$P

= -0.4$$\Delta $$0 = –0.4 × 20300 = –8120 cm–1

CFSE (in kJ) = $${{8120} \over {83.7}}$$ = 97 kJ/mol
