Question

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)2SO42NH3+CaSO4.2H2O
NiCl2.6H2O+6NH3[Ni(NH3)6]Cl2+6H2O

Atomic weights in g mol1 : H=1,N=14,O=16,S=32,Cl=35.5,Ca=40,Ni=59)

Solution

The correct option is B 2992 g
The reaction for the ammonia formation is Ca(OH)2+(NH4)2SO42NH3+CaSO4.2H2O
moles: 12 1584132=12 24 12

Weight of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) formed = 12×172=2064 g

Again the reaction corresponding to the complex formation is:


NiCl2.6H2O+6NH3[Ni(NH3)6]Cl2+6H2O
moles: 952238=4 24 246=4

Mass of [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 formed = 4×232=928 g
Total Weight = 2064+928=2992 g
