The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$K = k_{1} ? k_{2}$ $= \left(6.8 \times 10^{-3}\right)\times \left(1.6 \times 10^{-3}\right) = 1.08 \times 10^{-5}$

Concepts Used:

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
