The overall formation constant (Kf) is the product of the formation constant of the individual steps: Bn= K = K₁ x K2 x K3 xx Kn In calculating the concentration of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ from [Cu(H₂O)4]2+, the stepwise formation constants are as follows: K₁ = 1.90 x 104 K2= 3.90 x 10³ K3 = 1.00 x 10³ K4 = 1.50 x 10² Calculate the overall formation constant (K) for the formation of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ from [Cu(H₂O)4]²+.
