Question
  1. Which of the following is the correct Kf expression for the formation of the complex ion tetraiodoplumbate(II) ion, [PbI4]2–?

     

    Pb2+ (aq) + 4 I1- (aq) < === > [PbI4]2– (aq)

       

    Kf = [PbI4]2– / {[Pb2+] [4 I1-]}

       

    Kf = {[Pb2+] 4[I1-]} / [PbI4]2–

       

    Kf = {[Pb2+] [I1-]4} / [PbI4]2–

       

    Kf = [PbI4]2– / {[Pb2+] [I1-]4}
