Question

If beta1, beta2 and beta3 are stepwise formation constants of MCl,MCl2, MCl3 and K is the overall formation constant of MCl3, then

Answer 1

Answer:

K=Beta1+beta2+beta3

$\frac{1}{K} =\frac{1}{Beta1} +\frac{1}{Beta2} +\frac{1}{Beta3}$

$logK=log\beta _{1} +log\beta _{2} +log\beta _{3}$

$p_{k} =log\beta _{1} +log\beta _{2} +log\beta _{3}$

$M+Cl--->MCl_{1} ,K_{1} =\beta _{1}$

$MCl+Cl---->MCl_{2} ,K_{2} =\beta _{2}$

$MCl_{2} +Cl---->MCl_{3} ,K_{3} =\beta _{3}$

$M+3Cl--->MCl_{3} ,k_{eqm} =K$

$K=K_{1} *K_{2} *K_{3}$

$K=\beta _{1} *\beta _{2} *\beta _{3}$

$logK=log\beta _{1} +log\beta _{2} +log\beta _{3}$

Answer 2

Explanation:

so this is the correct answer
