Complex Ion Equilibria 2. Complex Ion Equilibria (increases solubility) Metal ions form complex ions with Lewis bases, such as: Cu2+(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) Cu(NH3)42+(aq) The reaction is generally very favorable so…K is very large! The equilibrium constant is called a Formation Constant Kf = [Cu(NH3)42+] [Cu2+][NH3]4 = 1.1 x 1013 (large!) Another example: Ag+(aq) + 2 NH3(aq) Ag(NH3)2+(aq) Kf = [Ag(NH3)2+] [Ag+][NH3]2 = 1.6 x 107 If a complex ion can form, then an “insoluble” salt will be much more soluble (Le Chatelier’s Principle again!).
