Complex ion precipitation Equilibrium

How are complex ions produced?

when metal ions (Lewis acids) combine with molecules or other ions (Lewis bases) to produce complex ions

What is the equilibrium constant for complex ions?

The equilibrium constants is called K_f

What does the typical K_f value typically for most complex ions?

it is typically greater than 1

What is LeChateliers principle?

A principle stating that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust to counteract that change and restore a new equilibrium.

When adding chloride to a chemical equations?

it will shift the equation making it more stable

When adding ammonia to a chemical equation?

It will shift the equation making it more stable

The greater the K_f value

The more stable the ions

What is the solubility product constant?

It is known as the Ksp value

What is the common ion effect?

The decrease in solubility of a salt when another salt that shares a common ion is added to the solution.
