- (b) How many grams of ZnCr2O4 can be prepared from 10.36 g of (NH4)2Zn(CrO4)2.
- (c) How many liters of gaseous byproducts are obtained at 292 °C and 745 mm pressure?
- (d) ZnCr2O4 has the cubic spinel structure consisting of a cubic closest-packed (face-centered cubic) array of O2– ions with Zn2+ ions in tetrahedral holes surrounded by four O2– ions and Cr3+ ions in octahedral holes surrounded by six O2– ions. The tetrahedral and octahedral holes are like those in K3C60 (see Figure 21.20). What fraction of each of the two types of holes is occupied?
- (e) Draw a crystal field d-orbital energy-level diagram for the Cr3+ ion in ZnCr2O4. Would you expect this compound to be colored? Explain. Does the Zn2+ ion contribute to the color? Explain.
