Consider the insoluble compound iron(II) sulfide , FeS . The iron(II) ion also forms a complex with cyanide ions . Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of FeS (s) increases in the presence of cyanide ions and calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction. For Fe(CN)64- , Kf = 7.7×1036 . Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s).
