2) The dissociation constant for Fe(enterobactin)]3- at high pH is 10-49 M,
a) Calculate the concentration of free Fe3+ in a 10 µM solution of Fe(enterobactin)]3-.
b) How many free iron ions are present in 1 L of such a solution?
we can find out the concentration Fe3+
Fe(enterobactin)]3- --------> Fe3+ + (enterobactin)]6-
initail 10 m 0 0
equilibrium 10 m - x x x
or K disso = x2 / 10 m - x
10-49 M = x2 ( as 10 m is a small quantity and x in comparision to it is also very small therefore we neglect x in comparision to 10 m)
10-49 M * 10-5 = x2 ( 10 m =10 * 10-6 = 105 as 1 m= 10-6M )
10-54 M =x2
or x= 10-27 there fore the concerntration of free Fe3+ = 10-27 M
2) there are twice the free ions present in solution having molarity 10-27 moles / litre .
