Calculate the maximum amount of thorium ion

Reference no: EM13716819

Question - In the extraction of thorium from radioactive wastes, three stepwise complexation reactions with oxalate anion yield the overall reaction: (C2O42? is oxalate anion)

Th4+ + 3 C2O42? ? Th(C2O4)32? Kf , overall = 2.51 x 1026

Calculate the maximum amount of thorium ion that could be present in a waste water, if it is made 0.1500 M in oxalate ion. Assume the oxalate is present in stoichiometric amount, compared to the thorium.

My foremost issue is that I think I have to have a balanced reaction in order to do the calculations.
