Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{t}^{2+} ion, given that \beta_{4} for this complex is 2.1 \times 10^{18}.
Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{t}^{2+} ion, given that \beta_{4} for this complex is 2.1 \times 10^{18}.

Ans: We are given the overall stability constant \left(\beta_{s}\right)=2.1 \times 10^{13}.
The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the overall stability constant. This is given below:
Overall dissociation constant =\frac{1}{\beta_{a}}=\frac{1}{2.1 \times 10^{17}}=4.7 \times 10^{-14}
