This document describes an experiment conducted by Hadebe TL on April 18, 2023 to prepare hexaamminenickel (II) chloride. The procedure involved dissolving nickel chloride hexahydrate in warm water, adding aqueous ammonia, cooling for 15 minutes, filtering the solution, and allowing the product to dry. The mass of the product obtained was 0.59g. The document also describes the visible light absorption spectra of hexaaquanickel(II) ion and hexaamminenickel(II) ion, noting their prominent absorption peak wavelengths.

Preparation of hexaaminenickel (II) Chloride.

AIM: To prepare hexaamminenickel (II) chloride, [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2


MATERIALS REQUIRED Nickel chloride hexahydrate Aqueous ammonia

1
The Procedure

We used a 100ml Beaker to dissolve 6g of nickel chloride hexahydrate in 10ml warm


water and added 12ml of aqueous ammonia and stirred rapidly and constantly to allow
the reactant to desolved completely in the solution and then after we allowed it to cool
for 15 min.
We then weighed the filtering paper and its mass was 0.17g.
We then inserted the filtering paper in to a filtering system and set on the vacuum , we
then began to filter our solution by pouring it on a filtering funnel with the acetone.
We finally then isolate the crystals of hexaamminenickel (II) chloride by filtration on a
Buchner funnel.
Finally, we then allowed the product to dry at room temperature.
After it dried we scrapped it and weighted it to get our final mass of 1.28g(crystal +
filtering paper).
After we then wighed the final mass of filtering paper to be 0.42g
Mass of weighing dish = 0.98g
Therefore the mass of product is 0.59g
0.42g - 0.17g = 0.29g)
(1.28g - 0.98g = 0.3g)

The visible light absorption spectrum of the hexaaquanickel(II) ion

2
The hexaaquanickel(II) complex ion, [Ni(H2O)6]2+(aq) is green because of the combination
of transmitted blue plus.

There are two prominent absorption peaks at λ max of 450 nm and λmax at 700 nm

The visible light absorption spectrum of the hexaamminenickel(II) ion

The hexaamminenickel(II) complex ion, [Ni(NH3)6]2+(aq) is pale blue, with strong


absorption in the yellow region - complimentary colours.

There are two prominent absorption peaks at λ max of 360 nm and λmax at 590 nm.The
first absorbance peak stretches over the near ultraviolet and violet region of the visible
spectrum.
