Given:
0.060 mol of NiC2O4
Ksp = 4 x 10⁻¹⁰
1.0 L of solution
Kf of Ni(NH3)6 2⁺ = 1.2 x 10⁹
NiC2O4 + 6NH3 ⇋ Ni(NH3)6 2+ + 2O4 2- 
NiC2O4 ⇋ Ni 2+ + C2O4 2- ...Ksp 
Ni2+ + 6NH3 ⇋ Ni(NH3)6 2+...Kf 

Ksp * Kf = (4 x 10⁻¹⁰) * (1.2 x 10⁹) = 0.48

K = 0.48 = [Ni(NH3)6 2+][C2O4 2-] / [NH3]⁶
0.48 = (0.060)² / [NH3]⁶ ... (dissolved C2O4 2- = 0.060M)
[NH3]⁶ = (0.060)² / 0.48 = 0.0036 / 0.48 = 0.0075
NH3 = ⁶√0.0075

NH3 = 0.44 M
