McMurry 8th EditionCh.21 - Transition Elements and Coordination ChemistryProblem 21.138dChapter 21, Problem 21.138d
In acidic aqueous solution, the complex trans-[Co(en)2Cl1]2+(aq) undergoes the following substitution reaction:
trans-[Co(en)1Cl2]+(aq) + H2O(l) → trans-[Co(en)2(H2O)Cl]2+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
The reaction is first order in trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]+(aq), and the rate constant at 25°C is 3.2×10–5 s–1.
(d) Is the reaction product chiral or achiral? Explain.
