Ammonia prepared by treating ammonium sulphate with calcium hydroxide is completely used by NiCl2.6H2O to form a stable coordination compound ([Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 ). Assume that both the reactions are 100% complete. If 1584 g of ammonium sulphate and 952 g of NiCl2.6H2O are used in the preparation, the combined weight (in grams) of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) and the nickel-ammonia coordination compound thus produced is ____.
(The reactions involved are:
Ca(OH)2+(NH4)2SO4→2NH3+CaSO4.2H2O
NiCl2.6H2O+6NH3→[Ni(NH3)6]Cl2+6H2O
Atomic weights in g mol−1 : H=1,N=14,O=16,S=32,Cl=35.5,Ca=40,Ni=59)
