Metal ion which is positively charged functions as a Lewis acid. Lewis base or the ligand has one or more lone pairs of electrons. For example, Cu2+, which is a highly charged and small metal ion having the major tendency to function as Lewis acids, consequently exhibiting the greatest affinity to form complex ions.

Concept introduction:
A complex ion is formed when a metal ion reacts with a Lewis base in solution. This reaction is defined in terms of chemical equilibrium. A complexion comprises of a ligand and a metal ion as a result of an interaction of Lewis acid-base.

- 1. Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 11.5 g of solid NaOH in enogh water to make 1.50 L solution. 2. Give the concentration of each type of ion in the following solutions: a) 0.50 M Co(NO3)2 b) 1 M Fe(ClO4)3arrow_forwardMetal cations in solution are complexed to H2O molecules and exist as hydrated ions. For example, Ni2+ complexes to form the hydrated ion Ni(H2O)62+. Metal cations are also able to complex to other ligands, such as NH3. An aqueous solution is prepared in which 0.00139 mol Ni(NO3)2 and 0.353 mol NH3 are dissolved in a total volume of 1.00 L.Classify the species present in the resulting solution according to their relative amounts. Kf for Ni(NH3)62+ is equal to 5.5 × 108. Ions in Solution (2 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area below) Do not place spaces in your answer. Write the expression for the dissociation constant needed to determine the concentration of Ni(H2O)62+ ions at equilibrium in the solution formed in Part 1. Calculate the concentration of Ni(H2O)62+ ions at equilibrium in the solution formed.arrow_forwardThe photographs below (a) show what occurs when a solution of iron(III) nitrate is treated with a few drops of aqueous potassium thiocyanate. The nearly colorless iron(III) ion is converted to a red [Fe(H2O)5SCN)2+ ion. (This is a classic test for the presence of iron(III) ions in solution.) [Fe(H2O)6]3+(aq) + SCN(aq) [Fe(H2O)5SCN]2+(aq) + H2O() (a) As more KSCN is added to the solution, the color becomes even more red. Explain this observation. (b) Silver ions form a white precipitate with SCN ions. What would you observe on adding a few drops of aqueous silver nitrate to a red solution of [Fe(H2O)5 SCN]+ ions? Explain your observation.arrow_forward
- The photograph below shows what occurs when a solution of potassium chromate is treated with a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Some of the bright yellow chromate ion is converted to the orange dichromate ion. 2 CrO42(aq) + 2 H3O+(aq) CrO72(aq) + 3 H2O() (a) Explain this experimental observation in terms of Le Chateliers principle. (b) What would you observe if you treated the orange solution with sodium hydroxide? Explain your observation.arrow_forwardHow can pure Mg be obtained from MgCl2? inorganic chemistryarrow_forwardThen, for testing the iodide test, the acidified solution of sodium iodide (NaI) reacts with Fe(NO3)3 , the following reaction takes place and showed FeI3 and NaNO3 are formed as products. The formed FeI3 is dark yellow to brown in colour. 3NaI + Fe(NO3)3 → FeI3 + 3NaNO3 After the addition of dichloro-methane the colour still remains the same. The equation is as follows: 2FeI3 + 3CH2Cl2 → 3CH2I2 + 2FeCl3 All the above reactions involved in the test are double displacement reactions. So, the above test is positive (formation of dark yellow to brown color solution), it indicates the presence of iodide ion in the solution. Question : Explain more about this experiment results.arrow_forward
