JEE Main 2021Chemical Equilibrium Question with Solution

JEE Main 2021 (24 Feb Shift 1)

Question

The stepwise formation of CuNH342+ is given below:

Cu2++NH3K1CuNH32+

CuNH32++NH3K2CuNH322+

CuNH322++NH3K3CuNH332+

CuNH332++NH3K4CuNH342+

The value of stability constants K1, K2, K3 and K4 are 104, 1.58×103, 5×102 and 102 respectively. The overall equilibrium constants for dissociation of CuNH342+ is x×10-12. The value of x is _____ (Rounded off to the nearest integer)

Step-by-step explanation

Cu2++NH3K1CuNH32+

CuNH32++NH3K2CuNH322+

CuNH322++NH3K3CuNH332+

CuNH332++NH3K4CuNH342+

Cu2++4NH3KCuNH342+

So,

K=K1×K2×K3×K4

=104×1.58×103×5×102×102

K=7.9×1011

Where K Equilibrium constant for formation of CuNH342+
So equilibrium constant K' for dissociation
 of CuNH342+ is 1 K

K'=1 K

K'=17.9×1011

=1.26×10-12=x×10-12

So the value of x=1.26

OMR Ans =1 (After rounded off to the nearest integer)
