Concept introduction:
A complex ion is formed when a metal ion reacts with a Lewis base in solution. This reaction is characterized in terms of
Metal ion which is positively charged functions as a Lewis acid. Lewis base or the ligand has one or more lone pairs of electrons. For example, Cu2+, which is a highly charged and small metal ion having the major tendency to function as Lewis acids, consequently exhibiting the greatest affinity to form complex ions.

Concept introduction:
A complex ion is formed when a metal ion reacts with a Lewis base in solution. This reaction is defined in terms of chemical equilibrium. A complexion comprises of a ligand and a metal ion as a result of an interaction of Lewis acid-base.

- A sample of hard water contains about 2.0 103 M Ca2+. A soluble fluoride-containing salt such as NaF is added to fluoridate the water (to aid in the prevention of dental cavities). What is the maximum concentration of F that can be present without precipitating CaF2?arrow_forwardThe solubility rules outlined in Chapter 4 say that Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ca(OH)2 are marginally soluble hydroxides. Calculate the pH of a saturated solution of each of these marginally soluble hydroxides.arrow_forwardWhat mass of solid AgBr is produced when 100.0 mL of 0.150 M AgNO3 is added to 20.0 mL of 1.00 M NaBr?arrow_forward
- A solution of potassium dichromate is made basic with sodium hydroxide;the color changes from red to yellow. Addition of silver nitrate to the yellow solution gives a precipitate. This precipitate dissolves in concentrated ammonia but re-forms when nitric acid is added. Write balanced net ionic equations for all the reactions in this sequence.arrow_forward3a.
