A 0.15 M aqueous solution of the chloride salt of the complex ion Pt(NH3 )42+ is found to be weakly acidic with a pH of 4.92. This is initially puzzling because the Cl2 ion in water is not acidic and NH3 in water is basic, not acidic.Finally, it is suggested that the Pt(NH3 )42+ ion as a group donates hydrogen ions. Compute the Ka of this acid, assuming that just one hydrogen ion is donated.
Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) is often used in ion exchange resins as a way to remove heavy metals from industrial waste waters. It forms a 2:1 complex with many heavy metals, with a high selectivity for divalent over monovalent ions.

Given that ?A2− is 4.6×10−3 at pH 7.00, what is the final concentration of Ni2+ remaining in solution? Ni2+(aq)+2A2−(aq)↽−−⇀NiA2−2(aq)?f=2.00×1014 [Ni2+]= __________ M

A pink solid has the formula CoCl3·5NH3·H2O. A solution of this solid is also pink in color and when titrated with silver nitrate quickly forms 3 mol of AgCl. Upon heating the pink solid, it loses 1 mole of water and forms a purple solid with the same NH3:Cl:Co ratio. Dissolving and titrating with AgNO3, the purple solid slowly releases one of its chlorides. a) Derive the formulas of the two octahedral complexes.b) draw and name them.c) write the chemical equations of all described reactions.
