Complex Ions: Formation Constant
18. Aqueous Equilibrium / Complex Ions: Formation Constant / Problem 3
The amount of Hg(OH)2 (Ksp = 3.1×10–26) dissolved in a solution can be increased by the formation of the [HgCl4]2– complex ion (Kf = 1.1×1016). What is the initial amount of KCl in molarity needed to increase the molar solubility of solid Hg(OH)2 to 1.2×10–3 mol/L when solid Hg(OH)2 is added to a KCl solution?
