Question

The solubility of silver chloride can be increased by dissolving it in a solution containing ammonia.
      AgCl (s) Ag(aq) + Cl(aq)      K1 = 1.6 x 10-10
         Ag(aq) + 2NH(aq) Ag(NH3)2(aq)     K2 = 1.5 x 107

What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction?
         AgCl (s) + 2NH(aq) Ag(NH3)2(aq) + Cl(aq) Knet = ?
