ii. Determine the value of n in the complex [𝑁𝑖(𝑁𝐻3 )𝑛 ] (1mark)
iii. Excess ammonia solution was added to 0.1M nickel(II)sulphate solution.
Trichloromethane was added to the resultant mixture. The mixture was shaken and
left to stand until equilibrium was established. 25cm3 of the organic layer required
20cm3 of 0.04M hydrochloric acid for complete neutralization, while 25cm3 of the
aqueous layer required 35cm3 of 1M hydrochloric acid for complete neutralization.
