The rate constants (at 45 ºC) for the anation of [Co(NH3)5H2O]3+ with three anions are shown below (Please write your answer on a paper and upload the image fine in the Assignments).  (a) Are these data consistent with a dissociative or associative mechanism?  Briefly explain your answer.  (b) Write the rate equation that is consistent with your choice in (a). (c) Write an equation (reaction) for the rate-determining step of these reactions.    

The spinels have a general formula AIIB2IIIO4.  The oxide anions form a ccp (fcc) lattice and the cations occupy the tetrahedral or octahedral holes.  For NiFe2O4, please answer to the following questions (Please write your answer on a paper and upload the image file in the Assignments) : (a) Determine the CFSEs of Ni2+ occupying the tetraheral and octahedral holes in terms of Δo.  You must draw the electron configurations in the energy level diagrams (Note: The oxides are weak-field (high-spin) ligands and Δt ~ (1/2) Δo).      (b) Determine the CFSEs of Fe3+ occupying the tetraheral and octahedral holes in terms of Δo.  You must draw the electron configurations in the energy level diagrams (Note: The oxides are weak-field (high-spin) ligands and Δt ~ (1/2) Δo).      (c) Which cation (Ni2+, Fe3+) prefers the octahedral holes more strongly?  Briefly explain your answer. (d) Would you expect NiFe2O4 to form a normal or inverse spinel?  Briefly explain your answer.

The electron affinities of Al, Si, and P are -43, -134, and -72 kJ/mol, respectively.  Please choose all correct statements regarding the relative values of these electron affinities (there may be more than one answer).

Rhodium (Rh) crystallizes in a face-centered cubic arrangement.  Calculate the total volume of Rh atoms present in a face-centered cubic unit cell (r is the atomic radius of Rh).
