1. Ni & Cu Coordination Complexes • Hand in: Pre-Lab, OPEN EXCEL • Today, we will study the reactions of different coordination complexes with ethylenediamine to determine if minor differences in structure make a difference in chemical reaction • Ni(H2O)6+2Cu(H2O)6+2

2. Ni & Cu Coordination Complexes • Let’s consider the reaction between • ¨ ¨ • Ni(H2O)6+2 + H2N CH2CH2NH2 • Ni(H2O)6+2 + ethylenediamine (en) – first step Ni(en)3+2 coordination complex after three additions of en What will happen with Copper Complex’s slightly different geometry??

3. Ni & Cu Coordination Complexes For the Experiment: 1. Set up Data Collection and Graph in EXCEL, a. on the x axis: Time (in secs) collect data every 10 secs b. on the y axis: Temp (oC) – note temperature change, when temperature is stable and not decreasing, add next volume of (en) c. Graph Live so you know when to add the next (en) 2. Prepare Equipment a. Coffee Cup Calorimeter b. Thermometer from Drawer 3. Obtain Reagents – WRITE DOWN CONC. ON BOTTLES ALL VOLUMES MUST BE EXACT!!!! a. Trial 1 - Nickel Complex – GREEN b. Ethylenediamine (en) – IN FUME HOOD WEAR GLOVES DISPENSE INTO A TEST TUBE AND COVER WITH PAPER ADD EN UNTIL NO CHANGE IS NOTED IN TEMP. (No more than 4 steps for either Trial) c. Trial 2 – Copper Complex – BLUE

4. Ni & Cu Coordination Complexes 4. Actual Experiment a. obtain baseline temperature data for at least one to two minutes b. add (en) c. immediately cover and gently swirl d. collect data until temperature plateaus e. try not to let temperature drop f. add next (en) to the solution and repeat until temp no longer rises (no more than 4 (en) additions per trial). 5. SAVE YOUR DATA, RENAME!!!, and go to trial 2 with Cu +2 complex 6. ALL WASTE IN LARGE CONTAINER IN FUME HOOD

7. Ni & Cu Coordination Complexes What to do with the data? q rxn = - (3.8 J/g oC ) x masssol. x (Tf – Ti) Where: q rxn = energy released by the reaction mass sol. = TOTAL mass of liquid in the calorimeter Tf = Final Temperature in the STEP Ti = Initial Temp in the STEP So: mass sol. = density of liquid (g/mL) x mL of TOTAL soln. Then: Where: ΔH = Heat of reaction (kJoules/mole) mol (en) = moles of en in the STEP WATCH YOUR UNITS = Joules or Kilojoules!!!!
