The IUPAC name of the complex ion formed when gold dissolves in aquaregia is
- tetrachloridoaurate $(I)$
- dichloridoaurate $(III)$
- tetrachloridoaurate $(III)$
- tetrachloridoaurate $(II)$
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
$HNO _{3}+3 HCl \longrightarrow 2 H _{2} O +2 Cl + NOCl$
$Au + 3Cl \longrightarrow AuCl3$
$AuCl3 + HCI \longrightarrow \underset{\text{Tetrachloridoaurate (III)}}{4AuCl_4}$

A block of certain mass is placed on a rough floor. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are 0.4 and 0.25 respectively. A constant horizontal force \( F = 20 \, \text{N} \) acts on it so that the velocity of the block varies with time according to the following graph. The mass of the block is nearly (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):

Concepts Used:
Isomerism in Coordination Compounds
Isomers in Coordination Compounds
Stereoisomers occur when the ligands have the same bonds, but the bonds are in different orientations relative to one another. Structural isomerism occurs when the bonds are different. Isomers are distinct compounds that can have different physical properties such as color, crystal structure, and melting point.
Cis and Trans Stereoisomers
In octahedral complexes—with four of one ligand and two of another—and square planar complexes—with two of one ligand and two of another—there are two different arrangements of the same atoms with the same bonds. These different arrangements are called cis and trans. In cis molecules, the two ligands are on the same side of the complex. In trans molecules, the similar ligands are on the opposite sides of the molecules, meaning the bond angle is 180 degrees.
Optical Stereoisomers
Optical isomerism occurs when a molecule is not superimposable with its mirror image.
Fac and Mer Stereoisomers
When three identical ligands occupy one face of an octahedron, the isomer is said to be facial or fac. If these three ligands and the metal ion are in one plane, the isomer is said to be meridional or mer.
