Question: Consider the following data: b. Based on your answer to part a, which is the stronger oxidizing agent, Co 3+ or Co(en) 3 3+ ?

Consider the following data:

Co+ + e- Co(en)3+ Co(en)3+ Co+ 8 = 1.82 V Kf =

1.5 X 102 K 2.0 X 1047

b. Based on your answer to part a, which is the stronger oxidizing agent, Co3+ or Co(en)33+?

c. Use the crystal field model to rationalize the result in part b.

Co+ + e- Co(en)3+ Co(en)3+ Co+ 8 = 1.82 V Kf = 1.5 X 102 K 2.0 X 1047
