Answer:
Explanation:
Assume that you have mixed 135 mL of 0.0147 mol·L⁻¹ NiCl₂ with 190 mL of 0.250 mol·L⁻¹ NH₃.
1. Moles of Ni²⁺
2. Moles of NH₃
3. Initial concentrations after mixing
(a) Total volume
V = 135 mL + 190 mL = 325 mL
(b) [Ni²⁺]
(c) [NH₃]
3. Equilibrium concentration of Ni²⁺
The reaction will reach the same equilibrium whether it approaches from the right or left.
Assume the reaction goes to completion.
Ni²⁺ + 6NH₃ ⇌ Ni(NH₃)₆²⁺
I/mol·L⁻¹: 6.106×10⁻³ 0.1462 0
C/mol·L⁻¹: -6.106×10⁻³ 0.1462-6×6.106×10⁻³ 0
E/mol·L⁻¹: 0 0.1095 6.106×10⁻³
Then we approach equilibrium from the right.
Ni²⁺ + 6NH₃ ⇌ Ni(NH₃)₆²⁺
I/mol·L⁻¹: 0 0.1095 6.106×10⁻³
C/mol·L⁻¹: +x +6x -x
E/mol·L⁻¹: x 0.1095+6x 6.106×10⁻³-x
Kf is large, so x ≪ 6.106×10⁻³. Then
