Chemistry - Dissolving Precipitates
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Write an overall net ionic equation and calculate K for the reaction where CuCl (Ksp = 1.9 x 10^-7) is dissolved by NaCN to from [Cu(CN)2]- Kf = 1.0 x 10^16).
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
The net ionic equation I've come up with is:
CuCl + Na(CN)2- --> Cu(CN)2- + NaCl
The equilibrium equations to figure K that I came with are:
CuCl --> Cu+ + Cl-
2CN- + Cu+ --> [Cu(CN)2]-
Am I on the right track here, or am I completely off? How would I then determine K from this? How do I know when it's 1/Ksp or just Ksp?
