Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the coordination complex $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$,the ligand is the cyanide ion,$CN^-$.Each $CN^-$ ligand acts as a monodentate ligand,meaning it donates one electron pair through a single donor atom (the carbon atom).There are $6$ $CN^-$ ligands coordinated to the central metal ion $Fe^{2+}$.Therefore,in one mole of the complex,there are $6$ moles of $CN^-$ ligands.Since each $CN^-$ ligand has one donor atom (carbon),the total number of moles of donor atoms is $6 	imes 1 = 6$ moles.

Find the total number of moles of donor atoms present in one mole of $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ complex.
