Identify number of moles of donor atoms in $2 \mathrm{n}$ mole of $\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$.

Identify number of moles of donor atoms in $2 \mathrm{n}$ mole of $\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$.
  1. 3n
  2. 6n
  3. 4n
  4. n

Solution

$\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$has two donor atoms nitrogen and sulfur either of which links to metal atom/ion when in forms a coordinate bond. Therefore, 1 mole of $\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$will have 2 moles of donor atoms. Hence, $2 \mathrm{n}$ moles of $\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$will have $4 \mathrm{n}$ moles of donor atoms.
