Which of the following complexes formed by Cu+2 ion is most stable
Cu+2+4NH3⇌CuNH342+ ; logK=11.6
Cu+2+4CN−⇌CuCN42− ; logK=27.3
Cu+2+2en⇌Cuen22+ ; logK=15.4
Cu+2+4H2O⇌CuH2O42+ ; logK=8.9
All the equations denote the formation of complexes.
Greater the value of stability constant (k), greater will be the stability of complex.
Stability of (2) > (3) > (1) > (4).
