    What is the overall formation equilibrium constant for the ion\[{{[M{{L}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]ion, given that\[{{\beta }_{4}}\]for this complex is\[2.5\times {{10}^{13}}\]?

    A) \[2.5\times {{10}^{13}}\]             

    B) \[5\times {{10}^{-13}}\]

    C) \[2.5\times {{10}^{-14}}\]       

    D)        \[4.0\times {{10}^{-13}}\]

    E) \[4.0\times {{10}^{-14}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{\beta }_{4}}\]for\[{{[M{{L}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]can be written as \[{{\beta }_{4}}=\frac{{{[M{{L}_{4}}]}^{2-}}}{[{{M}^{2+}}]{{[{{L}^{-1}}]}^{4}}}=2.5\times {{10}^{13}}\] The overall formation equilibrium constant can be written as \[{{k}_{n}}=\frac{{{[M{{L}_{4}}]}^{2-}}}{[{{M}^{2+}}]{{[{{L}^{-1}}]}^{4}}}\] \[{{k}_{n}}={{\beta }_{4}}=2.5\times {{10}^{13}}\]
