The complex [zn(nh3)2cl2]2+ does not exhibit cis-trans isomerism. the geometry of this complex must be
a. tetrahedral
b. trigonal bipyramidal
c. square planar
d. octahedral
e. either tetrahedral or square planar

A. tetrahedral

Explanation:

With the above information in mind, the correct answer would then have to be either a) or b), however the complex  [Zn(NH₃)₂Cl₂]²⁺ has 4 ligands. This means that the correct answer is a), because the trigonal bipyramidal geometry has 5 ligands.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
