Question
Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the Cu(NH3)42+ ion, given that β4 for this complex is 2.1 × 1013.

Answer

$\beta_{4} =2.1\times10^{13}$
The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the overall stability constant, $\beta_{4}$
$\therefore\frac{1}{\beta_{4}}=\frac{1}{2.1\times10^{13}}$
$=4.7\times10^{-14}$
