    				| 1. | What happens when ammonia solution is added first dropwise and then in excess to the following solution:(i) CuSO4 (ii) ZnSO4 (iii) FeCI3Write balanced equations for these reactions. | 
| Answer» (i)CuSO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ Cu(OH)2 ↓ (NH4)2 SO4 Blue pale blue ppt. colourless is solution With excess of NH4OH, ppt dissolves CU(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + 4H2O Excess Tetrammine Copper(II) Sulphate (ii)ZnSO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ Zn(OH)2 + (NH4)2 SO4 Colourless white, gelatinous ppt colourless With excess of NH4OH, ppt dissolves Zn(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ [Zn(NH3)4]SO4 + 4H2O (excess) Tetramminezinc(II) Sulphate (colourless) | |
