Cadmium carbonate, CdCO3, is a sparingly soluble salt whose Ksp = 2.5x10^-14. It is also known that Cd2+ forms the [Cd(NH3)4]^2+ complex ion that has a formation constant, Kf = 1.0x10^7. (a) Calculate the molar solubility of CdCO3 in 6.0M NH3. (b) What NH3 concentration would be required to dissolve 4.00 mol of CdCO3 in one liter of the solution?
