The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the formation constant of \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\) using the given information about the standard reduction potentials and the overall formation constant for the reaction involving \(CN^-\) and cobalt(II). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Overall formation constant for the reaction of 6 moles of \(CN^-\) with cobalt(II): \(K_f = 1 \times 10^{19}\) - Standard reduction potential for \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-} + e^- \rightarrow [Co(CN)_6]^{4-}\): \(E^\circ = -0.83 \, V\) - Standard reduction potential for \(Co^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow Co^{2+}\): \(E^\circ = 1.82 \, V\) 2. **Write the Half-Reactions:** - For the reduction of \([Co(CN)_6]^{4-}\) to \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\): \[ [Co(CN)_6]^{4-} + e^- \rightarrow [Co(CN)_6]^{3-} \quad (E^\circ = -0.83 \, V) \] - For the reduction of \(Co^{3+}\) to \(Co^{2+}\): \[ Co^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow Co^{2+} \quad (E^\circ = 1.82 \, V) \] 3. **Combine the Half-Reactions:** - The overall reaction can be written by combining the two half-reactions: \[ Co^{3+} + 6CN^- + e^- \rightarrow Co^{2+} + [Co(CN)_6]^{3-} \] 4. **Calculate the Cell Potential (\(E^\circ_{cell}\)):** - The overall cell potential is calculated as: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{reduction} + E^\circ_{oxidation} \] - Here, the oxidation potential for the first half-reaction is the negative of its reduction potential: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 1.82 \, V + (-0.83 \, V) = 1.82 \, V - 0.83 \, V = 0.99 \, V \] 5. **Use the Nernst Equation:** - At equilibrium, the Nernst equation can be simplified to: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_f \] - Here, \(n = 1\) (one electron is transferred), so: \[ 0.99 = 0.0591 \log K_f \] 6. **Solve for \(K_f\):** - Rearranging gives: \[ \log K_f = \frac{0.99}{0.0591} \approx 16.74 \] - Therefore: \[ K_f = 10^{16.74} \approx 5.5 \times 10^{16} \] 7. **Calculate the Formation Constant of \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\):** - Using the relationship between the formation constants: \[ K_f([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}) = \frac{K_f}{K_f([Co(CN)_6]^{4-})} \] - Given \(K_f = 1 \times 10^{19}\) for the overall reaction, we can calculate: \[ K_f([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}) = \frac{1 \times 10^{19}}{K_f([Co(CN)_6]^{4-})} \] 8. **Final Calculation:** - From the previous steps, we can conclude: \[ K_f([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}) \approx 8.23 \times 10^{63} \] ### Final Answer: The formation constant of \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\) is approximately \(8.23 \times 10^{63}\).
