Chapter 24, Problem 29E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stepwise equation for the displacement of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ ligand in ${\left[\text{Fe}{\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_6\right]}^{3+}$ by ethylenediamine isto be determined. The overall formation ß₃ for ${\left[\text{Fe}{\left(\text{en}\right)}_{\text{3}}\right]}^{3+}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The formation constant function is determined by the following formula-

$\log K_f=\log (K_a{K}_b{K}_c{K}_d)$

Where,

$K_f$ = overall formation of constant
