How are the stepwise stability constants (K) related to the overall stability constant (β)?(a) βn = K1 + K2 + …. + Kn(b) βn = K1 x K2 x … x Kn(c) βn = logK1 + logK2 + …. + logKn(d) βn = 1/(K1 + K2 + …. + Kn)This question was posed to me in a national level competition.My doubt stems from Stability of Coordination Compounds in chapter Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (b) βn = K1 x K2 x … x Kn

Easiest explanation: The overall stability CONSTANT is the PRODUCT of all the stepwise stability constants of each individual reaction.
