In aqueous solution the Ni2" ion forms a complex with four ammonia molecules. Write the formation constant expression for the equilibrium between the hydrated metal ion and the aqueous complex. Under that, write the balanced chemical equation for the first step in the formation of the complex K,=.

The correct equation is "".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout an aqueous solution, exist as

So,

⇒

⇒

Here, we have excluded as concentration of water will be const.

Now,

This formation of proceeds via several steps,

Step 1:

⇒

⇒

it takes on an electronical energy

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
