Overall EDTA formation constants for four M²⁺ ions are logβ = 8, 11, 16 and 19 for A,B,C,D respectively, under the same standard-state convention. Which are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

ΔG° = −RT lnβ, giving A the least negative value and D the most negative. 10¹⁶/10¹¹ = 10⁵. A formation constant alone does not uniquely determine ionic radius; bonding, solvation and other factors contribute.
