Estimate the total [Cl–] required in a solution that is initially 0.10 M CuSO4 to produce a visible yellow color.
![[Cu(HO)4]+ + 4Cl = (blue) [CuCl4] (yellow) + 4HO Kf = 4.2 x 105](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/images/question_images/1701/4/2/5/8046569b28c75db31701425804232.jpg)
Assume that 99% conversion of [Cu(H2O)4]2+ to [CuCl4]2– is sufficient for this to happen, and ignore the presence of any mixed aqua–chlorido complex ions.
[Cu(HO)4]+ + 4Cl = (blue) [CuCl4] (yellow) + 4H0 Kf = 4.2 x 105
