Question:

Without performing detailed calculations, show why you would expect the concentrations of the various ammine–aqua complex ions to be negligible compared with that of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ in a solution having a total Cu(II) concentration of 0.10 M and a total concentration of NH3 of 1.0 M. Under what conditions would the concentrations of these ammine–aqua complex ions (such as [Cu(H2O)3NH3]2+) become more significant relative to the concentration of [Cu(NH3)4]2+? Explain.
