Question:

(A) Copper(II) ion forms both an insoluble hydroxide and the complex ion [Cu(NH3)4]2+. Write equations to represent the expected reaction when 

(a) CuSO4(aq) and NaOH(aq) are mixed; 

(b) An excess of NH3(aq) is added to the product of part (a); and 

(c) An excess of HNO3(aq) is added to the product of part (b).

(B) Zinc(II) ion forms both an insoluble hydroxide and the complex ions [Zn(OH)4]2- and [Zn(NH3)4]2+ Write four equations to represent the reactions of 

(a) NH3(aq) with ZnSO4(aq), followed by 

(b) Enough HNO3(aq) to make the product of part (a) acidic; 

(c) Enough NaOH(aq) to make the product of part (b) slightly basic; 

(d) Enough NaOH(aq) to make the product of part (c) strongly basic.
