solution
Aqueous ion formula for copper (11) what colour is it - answer[Cu(H2O)6]2+ blue
solution
Aqueous ion Iron (111) and what colour is it - answer[Fe(H2O)6]3+ (aq) purple solution
may look yellow-brown due to [Fe(H2O)5(OH)]2+
Aqueous ion Aluminium (111) and what colour is it - answer[Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) colourless
solution
Iron (11) aqueous ion plus NaOH makes what? Colour? - answer[Fe(H2O)6]2+ + NaOH
——-> [Fe(H2O)4(OH)2] (s) +2H2O forms a green ppt but can go brown when exposed
to air at the surface
Iron (11) aqueous plus excess NaOH - answer[Fe(H2O)6]2+ + NaOH (aq) excess —->
no further change so [Fe(H2O)4(OH)2](s) + 2H2O
Iron (II) plus NH3 (aq) colour change - answer[Fe(H2O)6]2+ 2NH3 (aq) ——>
[Fe(H2O)4(OH)2] (s) + 2NH4+ green ppt can go brown if exposed to air at the surface
Iron (11) plus excess NH3 - answerNo further change just goes to [Fe(H2O)4(OH)2] (s)
+ 2NH4+
Iron (11) plus Na2CO3 (aq) - answer[Fe(H2O)6]2+ +Na2CO3 ———> FeCO3 (s) +
6H2O green ppt forms
Copper (11) plus NaOH? Colour change? - answer[Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 2NaOH ——->
[Cu(H2O)4(OH)2] (s) + 2H2O blue ppt forms
Copper (11) plus excess NaOH - answerNo further change just [Cu (H2O)4(OH)2] (s) +
2H2O blue ppt
Copper (11) plus NH3 (aq)? colour change? - answer[Cu(H2O)6]2+ 2NH3(aq) ———>
[Cu(H2O)4(OH)2] (s) + 2NH4+ blue ppt
Copper (11) plus excess NH3 (aq)? Colour change? - answer[Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + NH3
(aq) —-> [Cu(H2O)2(NH3)4]2+ (aq) as it undergoes ligand substitution deep blue
