The crystal field splitting energy for TiF₆³⁻ is 203 kJ/mol.At what wavelength does the maximum absorbance of light occur for this complex?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum absorbance of light occurs at the wavelength corresponding to the energy difference between the ground state and the excited state. According to the crystal field theory, the energy difference between the ground state and the excited state is given by ΔE = 1.98 × 10^15/λ, where λ is the wavelength of light in nm. Solving for λ, we get λ = 1.98 × 10^15/ΔE. Substituting the given value of ΔE = 203 kJ/mol, we get λ = 5.90 × 10^12 nm. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
