Answer #1

I was thinking it would have been [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + (C10H12O8N2)4- = (CuC10H12O8N2)2- + 4NH3 + (SO4)2- where the polydentate ligand would displace the NH3 and SO4… I know for sure it would displace the NH3 because it has a higher stability constant… does that sound correct to you? :S

Answer #2

[Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + C10H16N2O8 =

this is just a guess, but from other equations I’ve found, I think CuH16N2O8 is one product
