Chapter 23, Problem 23.118(choose chapter or problem)
The effect of entropy on reactions appears in the stabilities of certain complexes. (a) In terms of number of product particles, predict which of the following will be favored in terms of DS8rxn: [Cu(NH3)4] 21(aq) 1 4H2O(l) - [Cu(H2O)4] 21(aq) 1 4NH3(aq) [Cu(H2NCH2CH2NH2)2] 21(aq) 1 4H2O(l) - [Cu(H2O)4] 21(aq) 1 2en(aq) (b) Given that the CuN bond strength is approximately the same in both complexes, which complex will be more stable with respect to ligand exchange in water? Explain.
