Given that up to four ammonia (nh3) molecules can form a complex with one zinc ion (zn2+), what equation would you employ to calculate the fraction of free zinc ion (zn2+) when dissolved in water that also contains a large stoichiometric excess of dissolved ammonia ? show only the equation with all terms specified explicitly, no calculations.

explanation:

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

50.23 i believe is correct but don't quote me on that.
