Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Identify the color mapping of the specified classic complexes and compute their corresponding spin-only magnetic moments.

Step 1: Sort by characteristic colors
- : Fischer's salt. Famously Yellow. (Also denoted simply as yellow).
- : Potassium ferrocyanide. Light Yellow.
- : Potassium ferricyanide. Bright Red/Ruby.
- : Hatchett's brown. Reddish-Brown.
- : Bluish-White / White.
The two specifically targeted "yellow" complexes are the hexanitritocobaltate(III) and the hexacyanoferrate(
