Consider the insoluble compound silver iodide , AgI . The silver ion also forms a complex with cyanide ions . Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of AgI (s) increases in the presence of cyanide ions and calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction. For Ag(CN)2- , Kf = 5.6×1018 . Find K
AgI(s) --------->Ag+ + I- Ksp
Ag+ + 2CN- -------> [Ag(CN)]- Kf
--------------------------------------------------------
over all AgI(s) + 2CN- -----------> [Ag(CN)]- KC
KsP = 8.3*10-17
K = Ksp * Kf
= 8.3*10-17 *5.6*1018 = 4.468*102
large kc value very soluble in NaCN
