V CASE BASED QUESTION

(4X2=8M)
31. Hard water does not form leathers with
soap. Neelam uses a washing powder
containing sodium metapolyphosphate and
ethylene diamine tetracetate (EDTA) while
Manju is using ordinary washing powder.

32. The stability of complex in solution refers to degree of association between the two
species involved in the state of equilibrium. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant
(stability or formation) for the association, quantitatively expresses the stability. If
complex is formed in steps then the stepwise and overall stability constant is related as
follows— βn = k1 x k2 x k3 x k4 ….. kn

The addition of four amine groups to copper shows a pattern found for most formation
constants, in which the successive stability constant decreases. The instability constant
or the dissociation constant of coordination compound is defined as reciprocal of
formation constant β4.
