Question:

For a solution of Ni2+ and ethylenediamine, the following equilibrium constants apply at 20°C:

Ni²+ + H,NCH,CH,NH, = Ni(en)²+ log K, = 7.52 Ethylenediamine (abbreviated en) Ni(en)?+ + en = Ni(en) log K2 = 6.32 log K3 = 4.49 Ni(en)* + en = Ni(en)*


Calculate the concentration of free Ni2+ in a solution prepared by mixing 0.100 mol of en plus 1.00 mL of 0.010 0 M Ni2+ and diluting to 1.00 L with dilute base (which keeps all the en in its unprotonated form. Assume that nearly all nickel is in the form Ni(en)32+, so [Ni(en)32+] = 1.00 × 10-5 M. Calculate the concentrations of Ni(en)2+ and Ni(en)22+ to verify that they are negligible in comparison with Ni(en)32+.
