Advance Study Assignment: Relative Stabilities of Complex
lons and Precipitates Prepared from
Solutions of Copper(II)
1. In testing the relative stabilities of Cu(II) species using a well plate, a student adds 6 drops 1 M NH3
to 6 drops 0.1 M Cu(NO3)2. He observes that a blue precipitate initially forms (after the first few drops
of 1 M NH3), but that in excess NH3 (5 or 6 drops) the precipitate dissolves and the solution turns
deep blue. Addition of 6 drops 1 M NaOH to the deep blue solution results in the formation of a blue
precipitate.
a.
What is the formula of the Cu(II) species in the deep blue solution obtained with excess NH;?
b. What is the formula of the blue precipitate present after addition of 1 M NAOH?
c. Which species is more stable in equal concentrations of NH3 and OH¯, the one in Part A or the one
in Part B?
