When Oxalate Anions, C2O42−, Are Added to a Solution of [Fe(H2O)6]3+

Question 98

Multiple Choice

When oxalate anions, C2O42−, are added to a solution of [Fe(H2O) 6]3+, the formation of [Fe(C2O4) 3]3− occurs in a series of steps that together result in the following overall reaction:[Fe(H2O) 6]3+(aq) + 3 C2O42−(aq) → [Fe(C2O4) 3]3−(aq) + 6 H2O(l) During the first step of the reaction, two new coordinate bonds are formed to produce an intermediate ion of:


A) [Fe(H2O) 4(C2O4) ]+(aq) .
B) [Fe(H2O) 2(C2O4) 2]−(aq) .
C) [Fe(C2O4) 3]3−(aq) .
D) [Fe(H2O) 5(C2O4) ]2−(aq) .
