The correct Answer is:
To calculate the concentration of \([Fe^{2+}]\) in a solution containing \(0.2M [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}\) and \(0.1M CN^{-}\), we will use the formation constant \(K_f\) for the complex ion formation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Formation Reaction**: The formation of the complex ion can be represented as: \[ Fe^{2+} + 6CN^{-} \rightleftharpoons [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-} \] 2. **Write the Expression for the Formation Constant**: The formation constant \(K_f\) is given by: \[ K_f = \frac{[Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}}{[Fe^{2+}][CN^{-}]^6} \] Given \(K_f = 1 \times 10^{24}\). 3. **Substitute Known Concentrations**: We know the concentrations: - \([Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-} = 0.2M\) - \([CN^{-}] = 0.1M\) Let the concentration of \(Fe^{2+}\) be \(x\). 4. **Set Up the Equation**: Substitute the known values into the \(K_f\) expression: \[ 1 \times 10^{24} = \frac{0.2}{x \cdot (0.1)^6} \] 5. **Simplify the Equation**: Rearranging the equation gives: \[ x = \frac{0.2}{1 \times 10^{24} \cdot (0.1)^6} \] 6. **Calculate \((0.1)^6\)**: \[ (0.1)^6 = 1 \times 10^{-6} \] 7. **Substitute Back to Find \(x\)**: Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ x = \frac{0.2}{1 \times 10^{24} \cdot 1 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{0.2}{1 \times 10^{18}} = 2 \times 10^{-19} \, M \] 8. **Final Answer**: Thus, the concentration of \([Fe^{2+}]\) in the solution is: \[ [Fe^{2+}] = 2 \times 10^{-19} \, M \]

To calculate the concentration of \([Fe^{2+}]\) in a solution containing \(0.2M [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}\) and \(0.1M CN^{-}\), we will use the formation constant \(K_f\) for the complex ion formation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Formation Reaction**: The formation of the complex ion can be represented as: \[ Fe^{2+} + 6CN^{-} \rightleftharpoons [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-} ...
