CBSEENCH12007370

Write the expression for the stability’ constant for [Cu(NH3)4]2+.

Solution
The equilibrium constant for the formation of the complex ion from the hydrated ion is called the formation constant (Kf). Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is formed as given below:

Cu2++ 4NH3    Cu (NH3)42+.

Thus, Stability constant is

  K = Cu(NH3)42+Cu2+ NH34
