Answer #1

The formation constants K formation cadium with ammonia and cadmium with CN- are given as

Cd2+ + 6 NH3 <----------> [Cd(NH3)6]2+

2.6 x 105

Cd2+ + 4 CN- <----------> [Cd(CN)4]2-

7.7 x 1016

From this it is clear in the said reaction we should only form K2[Cd(CN)4] under the conditions given in the question.

The reaction for that will be

CdSO4+ 4 KCN K2[Cd(CN)4] +   K2SO4

We have 0.01 mol CdSO4 and 0.1 mol KCN

In 1 L Ammonia so concentration of CN- is 0.1mol in 1L which is 0.1M

So from the formation constant we have all the Cd2+ first gets converted to [Cd(CN)4]2-

Then as per the equilibrium Cd2+ is released

Kf = [[Cd(CN)4]2-]/[Cd2+][CN-]4

7.7 x 1016 = 0.01/[Cd2+] x (0.1)4

[Cd2+] = 0.01/7.7 x 1016 x (0.1)4

[Cd2+] = 1.29 x 10-15M

This will be the concentration of Cd2+
