The generic metal a forms an insoluble salt ab(s) and a complex ac5(aq). the equilibrium concentrations in a solution of ac5 were found to be [a] = 0.100 m, [c] = 0.0110 m, and [ac5] = 0.100 m. determine the formation constant, kf, of ac5.

Assuming that the reaction from A and C to AC5 is only one-step (or an elementary reaction) with a balanced chemical reaction of:

A + 5 C  --->  AC5

Therefore the formation constant can be easily calculated using the following formula for formation constant:

Kf = product of products concentrations / product of reactants concentration

Kf = [AC5] / [A] [C]^5                    

---> Any coefficient from the balanced chemical reaction becomes a power in the formula

Substituting the given values into the equation:

Kf = 0.100 M / (0.100 M) (0.0110 M)^5

Kf = 6,209,213,231

or in simpler terms

Kf = 6.21 * 10^9                  (ANSWER)
