Term
|
Definition
| An ion formed from a metal ion with a Lewis base attached to it by a coordinate covalent bond. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A Lewis base that bonds to a metal ion to form a complex ion. |
|
|
Term
Formation Constant/ Stability Constant (Kf) |
|
Definition
| The equilibrium constant for the formation of the complex ion from the aqueous metal ion and the ligands. |
|
|
Term
Formation Constant (Kf) example: What is the Kf of Ag(NH3)2+? |
|
Definition
| Kf = [Ag(NH3)2+] / [Ag+][NH3]2 |
|
|
Term
| What does a large Kf mean? |
|
Definition
The complex ion is quite stable. |
|
|
Term
| Dissociation Constant (Kd) (539) |
|
Definition
| The reciprocal, or inverse, value of Kf. |
|
|
Term
The equation for the dissociation of Ag(NH3)2+ is?
The dissociation equilibrium Constant? |
|
Definition
Ag(NH3)2+(aq) --><-- Ag+(aq) + 2NH3(aq)
Kd = 1 / Kf = [Ag+][NH3]2 / [Ag(NH3)2+] |
