Complex Ion Formation. • Used to increase the solubility of a salt. Using a second reaction. E.G. • How does this work? • “hides” ions away, allowing for more to be dissolved. • What is the new solubility of AgCl?
Steps for solving complex ion formation problems: • Step 1: Find K • Use Ksp and Kf • Step 2: Use K to solve solubility problem as previous Ksp problems • ICE chart (if you want) • Fill into K equation.
