When aqueous ammonia is added dropwise until in excess to an aqueous solution containing copper(II) ions, the pale blue precipitate that initially forms dissolves to produce a characteristic deep blue solution. Which complex ion is responsible for this deep blue color?

  1. [Cu(NH3)4]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{NH}_3)_4]^{2+}Cevap
  2. B
    [Cu(NH3)2]+[\text{Cu}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+
  3. C
    [Cu(OH)4]2−[\text{Cu}(\text{OH})_4]^{2-}
  4. D
    [Cu(H2O)4]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{H}_2\text{O})_4]^{2+}

Cevap

The complex ion responsible for the deep blue solution is the tetraamminecopper(II) ion, [Cu(NH3)4]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{NH}_3)_4]^{2+}.
When excess aqueous ammonia is added to a solution containing Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} ions, ammonia molecules act as ligands to coordinate with the Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} ion, forming the deep blue tetraamminecopper(II) complex ion, [Cu(NH3)4]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{NH}_3)_4]^{2+}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the initial reaction of copper(II) ions with aqueous ammonia.
A pale blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2\text{Cu(OH)}_2, is formed when small amounts of aqueous ammonia are added: Cu(aq)2++2NH3(aq)+2H2O(l)→Cu(OH)2(s)+2NH4(aq)+\text{Cu}^{2+}_{(\text{aq})} + 2\text{NH}_{3(\text{aq})} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(\text{l})} \rightarrow \text{Cu(OH)}_{2(\text{s})} + 2\text{NH}_{4(\text{aq})}^+.
Aqueous ammonia acts as a weak base, generating hydroxide ions.
2
Determine the effect of adding excess aqueous ammonia.
The copper(II) hydroxide precipitate dissolves due to ligand substitution, forming the soluble complex ion [Cu(NH3)4](aq)2+[\text{Cu}(\text{NH}_3)_4]^{2+}_{(\text{aq})}.
Ammonia molecules act as unidentate neutral ligands that bind strongly to copper(II) ions, displacing hydroxide ions and forming the deep blue tetraamminecopper(II) ion.
