Cadmium and cyanide ions can form the complex ion,Cd(CN) 42-,in aqueous solutions.
Cd2+ + CN- [Cd(CN) ]+ K1
…
[Cd(CN) 3] - + CN - [Cd(CN) 4]2- K4
Cd2+ + 4 CN - [Cd(CN) 4]2- Kformation
The stepwise equilibrium constants are: K1 = 1.5 *105; K2 = 2.6 * 104; K3 = 2.1 * 104; and,K4 = 1.6 * 103.
Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid in water: HCN H+ + CN-,Ka = 6.2* 10 - 10.
What is the equilibrium constant,Koverall,for the reaction Cd2+ + 4 HCN Cd(CN) 42- + 4 H+?
A) 2.1 * 10-2
B) 8.1 * 107
C) 1.9 *0 10-20
D) 8.7 * 1053
E) 3.2 * 108
