A solution is prepared such that the initial concentration of A2+ is 1.50×10-3 M and the initial concentration of X is 4.60×10-3 M. A2+ and X are allowed to react as shown below to establish equilibrium with the complex AX2+. In a colorimetry experiment, the equilibrium concentration of the complex AX2+ is determined to be 8.9×10-4 M. A2+ (aq) + X (aq) AX2+ (aq) What is Kf, the formation constant, for this complex?
