The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of what complex is formed when an excess of ammonia solution is added to `CuSO4`, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants We start with `CuSO4` (copper(II) sulfate) and ammonia (`NH3`). When ammonia is added to the copper(II) sulfate solution, it acts as a ligand and can form a complex with the copper ions. ### Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of Copper In `CuSO4`, copper is in the +2 oxidation state (Cu²⁺). This is important because it will influence the coordination number and the type of complex formed. ### Step 3: Consider the Coordination Number Copper(II) typically has a coordination number of 4 when it forms complexes with ligands like ammonia. This means that it can bond with four ammonia molecules. ### Step 4: Form the Complex When excess ammonia is added to the solution, it will coordinate with the copper ion. The resulting complex will be `[Cu(NH3)4]²⁺`. The sulfate ion (SO4²⁻) will remain in the solution as a counter ion. ### Step 5: Write the Final Product The final product formed when excess ammonia is added to `CuSO4` is `[Cu(NH3)4]²⁺`. This corresponds to option (d) `[Cu(NH3)4]²⁺`. ### Step 6: Naming the Complex The name of the complex can be derived as follows: - The ligand is ammonia, which is called "ammine". - Since there are four ammonia ligands, we use the prefix "tetra". - The central metal is copper, and since it is in the +2 oxidation state, we denote it as "copper(II)". Thus, the name of the complex is "tetramine copper(II)". ### Conclusion The correct answer is (d) `[Cu(NH3)4]²⁺`. ---
