Answer:

The correct equation is "\frac{[Ni(H_2O)_3 (NH_3)]^{2+}}{[Ni(H_2O)_4]^{2+} [NH_3]}".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout an aqueous solution, Ni^{2+} exist as [Ni(H_2O)_4]^{2+}

So,

⇒ [Ni(H_2O)_4]^{2+} + 4NH_3 \rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_4]^{2+} + H_2O

⇒ K_f = \frac{[Ni(NH_3)_4]^{2+}}{[Ni(H_2O)_4^{2+}] [NH_3]^4}

Here, we have excluded [H_2O] as concentration of water will be const.

Now,

This formation of [Ni(NH_3)_4]^{2+} proceeds via several steps,

Step 1:

⇒ [Ni(H_2O)_4]^{2+}+NH_3 \rightleftharpoons [Ni(H_2O)_3 (NH_3)]^{2+} + H_2O

⇒ K_1 = \frac{[Ni(H_2O)_3 (NH_3)]^{2+}}{[Ni(H_2O)_4]^{2+} [NH_3]}

What would happen to the volume of the container if the pressure is increased by a factor of 2​
telo118 [61]

Answer:

volume of the container will decreases if pressure increases.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law:

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume which means if pressure of a gas increases the volume of the gas will decreases as gas molecules will collide and come closer forcefully so volume will decreases. And its formula for determining volume and pressure is:

<em>PV=nRT</em>

where "R" is a ideal gas constant

"T" is temperature and

"n" is number of particles given in moles while "V" is volume and "P" is pressure.
