Question
The organic compound 18-crown-6 (see preceding prob-
lem) also binds strongly with the alkali metal ions in
methanol.
K* + 18-crown-62[complex]*
In methanol solution the equilibrium constant is 1.41 ×
106. A similar reaction with Cs* has an equilibrium con-
stant of only 2.75 × 10ª. A solution is made (in methanol)
containing 0.020 mol L-1 each of K* and Cs+. It also
contains 0.30 mol L-1 of 18-crown-6. Compute the equi-
librium concentrations of both the uncomplexed K* and
the uncomplexed Cs*.
