The values of dissociation constants of ...

The values of dissociation constants of `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` and `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` are `1.0xx10^(-12)` and `6.2xx10^(-36)` respectively. Which complex would be more stable and why ?

To determine which complex is more stable between `[Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺` and `[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺`, we need to analyze the given dissociation constants (K_d) for both complexes. ### Step 1: Understand the dissociation constant (K_d) The dissociation constant (K_d) is a measure of the tendency of a complex to dissociate into its constituent ions. A lower value of K_d indicates that the complex is more stable, as it does not easily dissociate. ### Step 2: Compare the given K_d values - For `[Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺`, K_d = `1.0 x 10^(-12)` - For `[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺`, K_d = `6.2 x 10^(-36)` ...
