Answer:

Correct Answer: 50. ($5.92 $ BM)

Solution:

(i) $Fe^{3+}+3 SCN^{-} \longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { Iron (III) thiocyanate} \\ A}}{Fe(SCN) _3}$ (blood red colouration)

$Fe(SCN) _3+F^{-}$(excess) $\longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { (Hexafluoroferrate) } \\ B}}{\left[FeF _6\right]^{3-}}+3 SCN^{-}$

(ii) Magnetic moment $\left(\mu _S\right)=\sqrt{n(n+2)}$ $ BM$

$=\sqrt{35}$ $ BM=5.92 $ $BM$
