The following chemical equations shows the stepwise formation constant expression (Kj..to K3) of each ox replaces two water. Fe3+ + C2042- 7 [Fe(C204)]* [Fe(C204)]* + C2042- 7 [Fe(C204)2] [Fe(C2O4)2]- + C2042-7 [Fe(C2O4)3]3- [Fe(ox)+] [Fe(ox)2:] [Fe(ox)33-] Ki K2 K3= [Fe3+] [ox] [Fe(ox)+] [ox] [Fe(ox)2 ] [ox] a) Write the overall formation constant experssion (Kf or B3) demonstrating that the Kfis given by the product of the three stepwise constants. (1 Mark) b) The value of successive stability constants decreases from Ki to K3. Why? (3 Marks) c) The complex [Fe(C2O4)3]3- has high Kf value, which is about 2 x 1020. Give reason based on its structure. (2 Mark)
