What would be the products of this chemical reaction??
Co(NO3)2 (aq) + NH3 (aq) = ??????
a precipitate is supposed to be formed.
Actually there are two products depending upon the concn of the NH3.
NH3 + H2O ==> NH4^+ + OH^-
Reaction 1:
Cu^2+ + 2OH^- ==> Cu(OH)2(ppt)
Reaction 2:
Cu^2+ + 4NH3 ==> Cu(NH3)4^2+(vivid blue soln)
