Answer
1

Explanation

Given, stability constant value,

K1 = 104

K2 = 1.58 $$\times$$ 103

K3 = 5 $$\times$$ 102

K4 = 102

Cu2+ + NH3 $$\buildrel {K_1} \over \rightleftharpoons $$ [Cu(NH3)]2+ .... (i)

[Cu(NH3)]2+ + NH3 $$\buildrel {K_2} \over \rightleftharpoons $$ [Cu(NH3)2]2+.... (ii)

[Cu(NH3)2]2+ + NH3 $$\buildrel {K_3} \over \rightleftharpoons $$ [Cu(NH3)3]2+..... (iii)

[Cu(NH3)3]2+ + NH3 $$\buildrel {K_4} \over \rightleftharpoons $$ [Cu(NH3)4]2+ ..... (iv)

On adding Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get

Cu2+ + 4NH3 $$\buildrel {K} \over \rightleftharpoons $$ [Cu(NH3)4]2+

$$\therefore$$ The overall reaction constant (k) or equilibrium constant for formation of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is

K = K1 $$\times$$ K2 $$\times$$ K3 $$\times$$ K4

$$ \Rightarrow $$ K = 104 $$\times$$ 1.58 $$\times$$ 103 $$\times$$ 5 $$\times$$ 102 $$\times$$ 102

$$ \Rightarrow $$ K = 7.9 $$\times$$ 1011

where, K = equilibrium constant for formation of [Cu(NH3)4]2+

So, equilibrium constant 'K' for dissociation of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is $${1 \over K}$$.

$$K' = {1 \over K} = {1 \over {7.9 \times {{10}^{11}}}} = 1.26 \times {10^{ - 12}}$$

Hence, K' = x $$\times$$ 10$$-$$12

x = 1.26
