29
Q

What is the COMPLEX and COLOUR formed when copper sulfate dissolves in water?

A

PALE BLUE

[Cu(H2O)6]2+

30
Q

What happens when an EXCESS of AMMONIA is added to a solution containing [Cu(H2O)6]2+?

A

PALE BLUE -> DARK BLUE

[Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 4NH3 -> [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ + 4H2O

31
Q

What are the SEPARATE steps involved in the reaction of EXCESS AMMONIA with [Cu(H2O)6]2+?

A

PALE BLUE SOLUTION -> PALE BLUE PRECIPITATE of Cu(OH)2

CU(OH2) precipitation then DISSOLVES in EXCESS AMMONIA to form a a DARK BLUE solution

33
Q

What happens when water is added to the yellow solution of [CuCl4]2-?

A

BLUE SOLUTION forms that is paler and more dilue

34
Q

Why does an intermediate green solution form when excess concentrated HCl reacts with [Cu(H2O)6]2+?

A

It is a result of yellow solution mixing with blue solution as reaction proceeds

35
Q

Why does the COORDINATION NUMBER of the COPPER complex ion change when excess concentrated HCl is added?

A

Chloride ions are larger than H2O ions so less can fit around central Cu2+ ion

Results in change in coordination number and shape from OCTAHEDRAL to TETRAHEDRAL

36
