a) en stands for ethylenediaminetetraacetate , a hexadentate ligand ion
b) The subscript f in Kf stands for formation
c) A very large value of Kf for a chemical reaction in which a coordination complex is a product would indicate that the complex formed is a relatively stable one
d) A very large value of Kf for a chemical reaction in which a coordination complex is a product would indicate a relatively small decrease in Gibbs free energy
use the below information:
*polydentate ligands result in more stable complex ions
then do monodentate ligands
An example of formation equilibrium for a complex ion in solution is:
Al3+ + 6F− ↔ [AlF6]3− Kf = 5.0 × 10−3
ΔG = −RT ln( Kf )
remember, the more negative the value the of ΔG the more stable are the products of reaction that are formed
