Question

Sulfide \(\left(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\right)\) salts are notoriously insoluble in aqueous solution.

a. Calculate the molar solubility of nickel(II) sulfide in water. \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}(\mathrm{NiS})=3 \times 10^{-16}\)

b. Nickel(II) ions form a complex ion in the presence of ammonia with a formation constant \(\left(K_{f}\right)\) of \(2.0 \times 10^{8}\): \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}+6 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}\). Calculate the molar solubility of NiS in \(3.0 \ \mathrm{M} \ \mathrm{NH}_{3}\).

c. Explain any differences between the answers to parts a and b.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 22 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Sulfide \(\left(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\right)\) salts are notoriously insoluble in aqueous solution.a. Calculate the molar solubility of nickel(II) sulfide in water. \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}(\mathrm{NiS})=3 \times 10^{-16}\)b. Nickel(II) ions form a complex ion in the presence of ammonia with a formation constant \(\left(K_{f}\right)\) of \(2.0 \times 10^{8}\): \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}+6 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}\). Calculate the molar solubility of NiS in \(3.0 \ \mathrm{M} \ \mathrm{NH}_{3}\).c. Explain any differences between the answers to parts a and b.Text Transcription:(S^2-)K_sp(NiS) = 3 x 10^-16(K_f)2.0 x 10^8Ni^2+ + 6 NH_3 rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^2+3.0 M NH_3
From the textbook chapter Transition Metals and Coordination Compounds you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
