4. The balanced solubility equilibrium of CuS in aqueous ammonia is Cus(s) + 4 NH3 (aq) =[Cu(NH3)412*(aq) + S²¯(aq). If the molar solubility of CuS is represented by S, what would the equilibrium expression be for the solubility in a 1 M solution of ammonia? O K = s4 / (1 - 45) * K= s4 / (1 - S) K= s2 / (1 - 45) * K = 52 / (1 - S) HIDE ANSWER
