Question
Cobalt (II) carbonate is slightly soluble in water (Ksp = 1.0 x 10-10). In the presence of an excess of ammonia, Co²+ forms a complex with six ammonia ligands that is somewhat
favorable (K₁ = 1.3 x 105). What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Koverall) for the overall reaction that occurs?
COCO3 (s) +6 NH3 (aq) → Co(NH)32+ (aq) + CO32- (aq)
1.3 x 10-5
3.6 x 10²
