Plot the fraction of each ion against logNH3] for the stepwise formation of the amine complexes of Cu2+ , Kf1=1*10^4 ,Kf2=5*10^3, Kf3=1*10^3 , Kf3=1*10^3 , Kf4=2*10^2 , Kf5=0.25
As I was not given the complex I will assume:
Liquid ammonia is used extensively as a nonaqueous solvent. The alkali metals as well as the heavieralkaline-earth metals and even some inner transition metals dissolve in liquid ammonia, producing blue solutions. Physical measurements, including electrical-conductivity studies, provide evidence that this blue colour and electrical current are due to the solvated electron. metal (dispersed) ? metal(NH3)x ? M+(NH3)x + e?(NH3)yThese solutions are excellent sources of electrons for reducing other chemical species. As the concentration of dissolved metal increases, the solution becomes a deeper blue in colour and finally changes to a copper-coloured solution with a metallic lustre. The electrical conductivity decreases, and there is evidence that the solvated electrons associate to form electron pairs.2e?(NH3)y ? e2(NH3)y
