Observe the following equations $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{NH}_3+\mathrm{Ag}^{+} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\right]^{+}, \quad K_1=1.6 \times 10^3 \\ & {\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\right]^{+}+\mathrm{NH}_3 \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+},} \\ & K_2=6.8 \times 10^3 \end{aligned}$ The equilibrium constant for the following reaction, $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}+2 \mathrm{NH}_3 \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}$is
  1. $6.008 \times 10^3$
  2. $1.088 \times 10^7$
  3. $1.088 \times 10^6$
  4. $1.028 \times 10^3$

Solution

When silver ion reacts with $\mathrm{NH}_3$, then diammine silver (I) ion is formed. $\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\right]^{+}+\mathrm{NH}_3 \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}$, The equilibrium constant for the following reaction, Here, $\begin{aligned} & K_3=K_1 \times K_2 \\ & \therefore \quad K_3=1.6 \times 10^3 \times 6.8 \times 10^3 \\ & =1.088 \times 10^7 \end{aligned}$
