Question

The IUPAC name of K3[Ir(C2O4)3] is (A) potassium trioxalatoidium(III) (B) potassium trioxalaoiridate(III) (C) potassium tris(oxalato)iridium(III) (D) potassium tris(oxalato)iridate(III)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

IUPAC name of K3[Ir(C2O4)3] is potassium trioxalatoiridate (III) Let O.S. of Ir - x ∴ 3(+ 1) + x + 3(-2) = 0 x = + 3 [O.S. of K+ = +1. O.S. of C22-4 = -2]

Q. The IUPAC name of $K_{3} [I r (C_{2} O_{4})_{3}]$ is

potassium trioxalatoidium(III)

potassium trioxalaoiridate(III)

potassium tris(oxalato)iridium(III)

potassium tris(oxalato)iridate(III)

IUPAC name of $K_{3} [I r (C_{2} O_{4})_{3}]$ is potassium trioxalatoiridate (III)
Let O.S. of Ir - $x$
$∴$ 3(+ 1) + $x$ + 3(-2) = 0
$x$ = + 3
[O.S. of $K^{+}$ = +1. O.S. of $C 2_{4}^{2 -}$ = -2]
