    Factors That Affect Solubility

    Formation of Complex Ions
  • Consider the formation of Ag(NH3)2+:
  • The Ag(NH3)2+ is called a complex ion.
  • NH3 (the attached Lewis base) is called a ligand.
  • The equilibrium constant for the reaction is called the formation constant, Kf:
  • Focus on Lewis acid-base chemistry and solubility.
