Why is that calcium ions don't react with aqueous ammonia
Accepted Answer
Calcium ions react with aqueous ammonia to form calcium hydroxide and ammonium ions. The reaction is:
Ca2+ + 2 NH3 + 2 H2O → Ca(OH)2 + 2 NH4+
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is very large, indicating that the reaction proceeds essentially to completion.
