Chapter 24, Problem 32E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given observation that COCl3 is unstable in aqueous solution and reduced to CoC12 and liberating O2(g). The reason which [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 can be easily maintained in an aqueous solution should be explained in terms of complex-ion formation.

Concept introduction:

A complex ion is formed when a metal ion reacts with a Lewis base in solution. This reaction is defined in terms of chemical equilibrium. A complexion comprises of a ligand and a metal ion as a result of an interaction of Lewis acid-base.

The Metal ion which is positively charged functions as a Lewis acid. Lewis base or the ligand has one or more lone pairs of electrons. For example, Cu2+, which is a highly charged and small metal ion having a significant tendency to function as Lewis acids, consequently exhibiting the greatest affinity to form complex ions.

The development of a complexion is a stepwise procedure, and every step has its equilibrium constant. When two of the equations are added together, the equilibrium constants multiply.
