Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Note: The simplest ion that copper forms in solution is the typical blue hexaaquacopper(II) ion - [Cu(H2O)6]2+. This complex ions react with the various reagents in aqueous solution.

Ans to Question related to Tube 1: Formula of the complex ion formed is

( tetraamminediaquacopper(II) ions) [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+

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

Ans to Question related to Tube 2 : Formula of the complex ion formed is [Cu(NH2CH2CH2NH2)2(H2O)2]

Ans to Question related to Tube 3: If you add concentrated hydrochloric acid to a solution containing hexaaquacopper(II) ions ) [Cu((H2O)6]2+, the six water molecules are replaced by four chloride ions )

[Cu((H2O)6]2+   + 4Cl-    [CuCl4]2- + 6H2O

The formula of the complex is [CuCl4]2-

Ans to Question related to Tube 4: The simplest ion that copper forms in solution is the typical blue hexaaquacopper(II) ion - [Cu(H2O)6]2+.

Hydroxide ions say, sodium hydroxide solution remove hydrogen ions from the water ligands attached to the copper ion.

[Cu((H2O)6]2+   + 2OH-    [Cu(H2O)4(OH)2] + 2 H2O

The formula of the complex is [Cu(H2O)4(OH)2]

Ans to Question related to Tube 5:

Cu(II) + NaNO2   = Cu(NO2)2

The formula of the complex is Cu(NO2)2

Ans to Question related to Tube 6:

K4[Fe(CN)6] + 2CuSO4 Cu2[Fe(CN)6] + 2K2SO4

The formula of the complex is Cu2[Fe(CN)6]

The complex ion that is formed with 1,10-phenanthroline with FeSO4.5H2O is Fe(phen)32+

Fe2+   + 1,10-phenanthroline    Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)3 (red colored complex)

Ans to Question related to Tube A: On addition of a solution of KSCN to s solution of Fe(III) Blood red colored iron (III) thiocyanate complex ion is produced. Formula of the complex is Fe(SCN)2+

Fe 3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) <=> Fe(SCN)2+ (aq)

Ans to Question related to Tube A: On addition of a solution of K4[Fe(CN)6] to s solution of Fe(III) deep blue (Prussian blue) color is formed because of the formation of the complex Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 Formula of the complex is Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3
