ans)

from above data that

The formation constants are very large. Since Kf is large, assume all the Co3+ is consumed and converted to complex ion, Co(NH3)63+.

We can determine the concentration of Co3+ ions produced by the subsequent dissociation of the complex ion.

The formation constant 'Kf' for the complex ion, Co(NH3)63+ is 5.0 1031

[NH3] = 2.50 – 6 0.200 = 1.3

Co3++ 6 NH3   Co(NH3)63+

0 1.180 200

x +6x -x

x 1.3+ 6x 0.200–x

Since x will be small, 1.3 + 6x ≈ 1.3 and 0.200–x ≈ 0.200

Kf = 5.00 x 1031= [Co(NH3)63+]/([Co3+][NH3]6)

Rearranging the above equation,

[Co3+] = [Co(NH3)63+]/(NH3]6 Kf) = 0.200 /1.36/5.00 x 1031 = 8.29x 10-34
