The stepwise stability constants of a complex are given below. What is its overall reaction stability constant $\beta_4$ ?
$M + L \rightleftharpoons ML ; K_1 = 1.0 \times 10^4$
$ML + L \rightleftharpoons ML_2 ; K_2 = 1.0 \times 10^3$
$ML_2 + L \rightleftharpoons ML_3 ; K_3 = 1.0 \times 10^3$
$ML_3 + L \rightleftharpoons ML_4 ; K_4 = 1.0 \times 10^2$
(Overall reaction : $M + 4L \rightleftharpoons ML_4$)

  • A
    $1.0 \times 10^{12}$
  • B
    $12.1 \times 10^3$
  • C
    $1.0 \times 10^6$
  • D
