Multistep problem that I'm confused on the entire thing:

A) The addition of 5E-3 total moles of Zn2+ to a 1.0L solutionof NaCN gives a solution of the complex ion[Zn(CN)4-2](Kf=4.2E19). What is theconcentration of uncomplexed Zn2+ ions if theconcentration of cyanide ions in the final solution is 0.5M?

B) ZnCO3 is sparaingly soluble salt with aKsp=1.0E-7. The addition of CN- (aq) to ZnCO3(s) yieldsthe complex ion [Zn(Cn)42-] (aq) with theKf mentioned before in Part A. Write the reaction.

C) What will be the Keq for this overall reaction?

D) What is the solubility of ZnCO3 (s) in a solutionof NaCN (aq) where the equilibrium concentration of cyanide in thesolution is 0.2 M? Use the calculated Keq from Part C.
