Question

A solution is formed by mixing 50.0 mL of 9.5 M NaX with 50.0 mL of 4.4x10-3 M CuNO3 . Assume that Cu+ forms complex ions with X- as follows:

Cu(aq) + X- (aq) <----> CuX (aq)    K1= 1.0x102

CuX (aq)+ X- (aq)<----> CuX2- (aq)    K2= 1.0x104

CuX2- (aq) + X- (aq) <----> CuX32- (aq)   K3= 1.0x103

with an overall reaction 

Cu+ (aq) + 3X(aq) <----> CuX32- (aq)   K= 1.0x109

Calculate the following concentrations at equilibrium. 

[CuX32-] = _________ M

[CuX2-] = __________ M

[Cu+] = ____________ M
