For the complex $ML_2$,the stepwise formation constants for the reactions:
$M + L \rightleftharpoons ML$
$ML + L \rightleftharpoons ML_2$
are $4$ and $3$ respectively. Hence,the overall stability constant for the reaction:
$M + 2L \rightleftharpoons ML_2$
is:

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $1.33$
  • D
    $0.75$
