FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion because:

1. The former is an example of a basic compound, while the latter is an amphoteric compound
2. The former is an example of an amphoteric compound, while the latter is a basic compound
3. The former is an example of a double salt, while the latter is a coordination compound
4. The former is an example of a coordination compound, while the latter is a double salt

The two coordination complexes, [Fe(CN)6]4– and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ are of different colors in dilute solutions, due to:

1. Higher lattice energy value of [Fe(CN)6]4– as compared to [Fe(H2O)6]2+
2. Higher CFSE value of [Fe(CN)6]4– as compared to [Fe(H2O)6]2+
3. Lower CFSE value of [Fe(CN)6]4– as compared to [Fe(H2O)6]2+
4. Lower lattice energy value of [Fe(CN)6]4– as compared to [Fe(H2O)6]2+

The difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand is:

1. Weak field ligands cause higher splitting in the d orbitals than strong field ligands.
2. Weak field ligands cause lower splitting in the d orbitals than strong field ligands.
3. Strong field ligands do not form a complex with a metal ion.
4. None of the above.
