Cd2+ forms two complexes with acetate, with the given overall formation constants.
1. Cd2+(aq)+CH3CO−2(aq)−⇀↽−Cd(CH3CO2)+(aq )K1=β1=85
2. Cd2+(aq)+2CH3CO−2(aq)−⇀↽−Cd(CH3CO2)2(aq) β2=1400
Find the stepwise formation constant, K2, for the reaction
3. Cd(CH3CO2)+(aq)+CH3CO−2(aq)−⇀↽−Cd(CH3CO2)2(aq)K2=?
You prepare 1.00 L of solution containing 1.00×10−4 mol Cd(ClO4)2 and 0.150 mol CH3CO2Na. Calculate the fraction of cadmium in the form Cd2+.
