Question

Copper (II) Phosphate is extremely insoluble, but forms a complex ion with CN- that can drive the Copper (II) solubility through Le Chatlier’s principle. Given the two reactions below, determine KT.

Cu3(PO4)2 (s)  -->3 Cu2+ (aq) + 2 PO43-(aq)              K1=2.05x10-35

Cu(CN)42- (aq)  -->Cu2+ (aq) + 4 CN- (aq)       K2=1.0x10-25

Cu3(PO4)2 (s)  +  12 CN- (aq)  -->  3 Cu(CN)42- (aq)  +   2 PO43- (aq)                 KT=???
