How to calculate the pH of a solution with addition of a complex
The scenario is this. I have $50$ mL of $0.1$ M $\ce{NH4^+}$ at a certain temperature which gives it a $K_a=5.2\times 10^{-8}$. To this solution, I add $0.02$ moles of $\ce{Cd(NO_3)_2}$. It is known ...

How to simplify these system of equilibrium equations
What is the pH when $0.025$ mol $\ce{NiCl2}$ is added to $\pu{1.00 L}$ of a $\pu{0.100 M}$ solution of $\ce{HCN}$, if the formation constant for $\ce{Ni(CN)4^2-}$ is $K_f=\pu{1.0e22}$, and the $K_a$ ...

Ligand substitution reaction in coordination compounds
I know that the following substitution reaction can take place:
$$\ce{[Cu(H2O)4]^2+ (aq) + 4NH3 (aq) -> [Cu(NH3)4]^2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l)}$$
This is because ammonia is a stronger ligand than water.
