Synthesis of Hexaamminenickel (II) tetrafluoroborate
« on: December 15, 2008, 07:55:46 PM »
Ok so i made a compund in a lab - Hexaamminenickel (II) terafluoroborate ( [Ni(NH3)6][BF4]2) from Nickel Chloride (NiCl2) reacting with aqueous ammonia (NH3) then with ammonium tetraflouroborate[NH4][BF4]. The intermediate being [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2.

I need to write a balanced equation so i can calculate the percentage yeild of my product. Anyone able to help me??? I came up with NiCl2 + NH3 + (NH4)(BF4) = Ni(NH3)6(BF4)2 + Cl2 but i dont think that is correct.

Write down a double replacement reaction (metathesis) between nickel chloride and ammonium tetrafluoroborate first, then form a complex. Finally add both reaction

 ;)this is reaction addition
I like to synthesize various substances

I no this is from 2008 but I'm at uni and I just did this lab so Im posting the equation for other new students

[NA(NH3)6]Cl2 + 2NH4 + 2BF4 –> [Ni(NH3)](BF4)2 + 2Cl- + 2NH+4

voila

aren't there suppose to be six ammonia ligands in the complex?
