Will 0.10 mol of AgBr completely dissolve in 1.0 \(\mathrm{L}\) of 3.0 \(\mathrm{M} \mathrm{NH}_{3} ?\) The \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\) value for \(\mathrm{AgBr}(s)\) is \(5.0 \times 10^{-13},\) and the overall formation constant for the complex ion \(\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2}+\) is \(1.7 \times 10^{7}\) , that is, $$\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2}^{+}(a q) \quad K=1.7 \times 10^{7}$$

When 6\(M\) ammonia is added gradually to aqueous copper(II) nitrate, a white precipitate forms. The precipitate dissolves as more 6\(M\) ammonia is added. Write balanced equations to explain these observations. [Hint: \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) reacts with \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) to form \(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}^{2+} . ]\)

The compound cisplatin, Pt \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2},\) has been studied extensively as an antitumor agent. The reaction for the synthesis of cisplatin is: $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{PtCl}_{4}(a q)+2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(s)+2 \mathrm{KCl}(a q)$ Write the electron configuration for platinum ion in cisplatin. Most \(d^{8}\) transition metal ions exhibit square planar geometry. With this and the name in mind, draw the structure of cisplatin.

The carbonate ion \(\left(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\right)\) can act as either a monodentate or a bidentate ligand. Draw a picture of \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\) coordinating to a metal ion as a monodentate and as a bidentate ligand. The carbonate ion can also act as a bridge between two metal ions. Draw a picture of a \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\) ion bridging between two metal ions.

Draw the \(d\) -orbital splitting diagrams for the octahedral complex ions of each of the following. a. \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) (high and low spin) b. \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(\text { high spin })\) c. \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\)
