    134. [Fe(CN)6]4- and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why?

    Some of the visible spectrum is being removed from white light as it passes through the sample, so the light that emerges is no longer white. The colour of the complex is complementary to that which is absorbed. The complementary colour is the colour generated from the wavelength left over. If green light is absorbed by the complex, it appears red. Therefore, [Fe(CN)6]4- and [Fe(H2O)62+ are of different colours in dilute solutions.
