Solid CuSO₄ is added in excess to a solution that contains 0.20 M NH₃. The solubility product of CuSO₄ is \(K_{sp}=1.2\times10^{-5}\) and the overall formation constant for the tetraamminecopper(II) ion is \(\beta_{4}=1.1\times10^{13}\). Assuming the concentration of NH₃ remains essentially unchanged, calculate the equilibrium concentration of free \(\text{Cu}^{2+}\) ions in the solution.

Answer Options

Correct Answer D. 2.6\times10^{-8}\ \text{M}
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
2.6\times10^{-8}\ \text{M}
