Question

The overall formation constant for the reaction of 6molofCNions with Co(II) ions is 1020. The standard reduction potential for the reaction [Co(CN)6]3+e[Co(CN)6]4is0.78V
Co3++eCo2+E=1.80V
If the formation constant for [Co(CN)6]3is10a, then the value of a is

Solution

(1)Co2++6CN[Co(CN)6]4Kf=1020
(2)Co3++eCo2+=Eo=1.80V
Kc2=1030
(3)[Co(CN)6]3+e[Co(CN)6]4Eo=0.78V
Kc3=1013
(4)Co3++6CN[Co(CN)6]3kf4
eq1+eq2eq3=eq4
Formation constant
kf4=kf×kc2kc3=1020×0301013.
