Question

Predict the products and write the net ionic equation for the following precipitation or complex ion reaction. The reaction of aqueous copper(2) chloride with ammonia to form the complex ion tetraamminecopper(2). Predict the products and write the net ionic equation for the following precipitation or complex ion reaction. The reaction of aqueous copper(2) chloride with ammonia to form the complex ion tetraamminecopper(2). The reaction of aqueous copper(2) chloride with ammonia to form the complex ion tetraamminecopper(2).

Explanation / Answer

molecular

CuCl2(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) ----> [Cu(NH3)4]Cl2 (aq)

ionic

Cu+2(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) --> [Cu(NH3)4]^+2 (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)

net ionic

Cu+2(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) ----> [Cu(NH3)4]^+2 (aq)
