Given the following reactions
CuO (s) ⇌ Cu2+ (aq) + O2– (aq) K1
O2- (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ 2OH– (aq) K2
H2O (l) ⇌ H+ (aq) + OH– (aq) Kw
Write the mass action expression for CuO dissolving in acid and express the value of the equilibrium constant in terms of K1, K2 and Kw.
CuO (s) + 2H+ (aq) ⇌ Cu2+ (aq) + H2O (l)
________________ = ______________
(MA expression) (equilibrium constant)
