  • question_answer
    The blue complex formed on addition of cone. \[N{{H}_{4}}OH\] solution to a \[C{{u}^{2+}}\] salt solution has the structure:

    A)  \[{{[Cu\,{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}]}^{2+}}\] 

    B)  \[{{[Cu\,{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}\]

    C)                         \[{{[Cu\,{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}\]

    D)         \[{{[Cu\,{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}]}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Copper salt, when dissolved in ammonical solution, forms a deep blue complex, named tetra amine copper (II) ion. \[C{{u}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{4}}OH\xrightarrow{{}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Tetraamine}\,\text{copper}\, \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(II)}\,\text{ion}\,\text{(blue)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}}}\,+4{{H}_{2}}O\]
