    Details: Chemical Equilibrium - Part 1

    Exp. #5: Chemical Equilibrium - Part 1

    Experimental Data:
    The reaction in consideration is an equilibrium reaction

    Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) ⇄ FeSCN2+(aq)

    (colorless) (colorless) (blood red)

    For this experiment, a colorless 2.0 x10-3 M aqueous colorless solution of Iron (III) nitrate, Fe(NO3)3, was mixed with a 2.0 x10-3 M
    colorless solution of Potassium thiocyanate, KSCN, which results in the formation of FeSCN2+ (blood red color). Note: the reaction
    is in equilibrium and the purpose is to find the equilibrium constant.
    In this experiment, different combinations of Fe3+ and SCN- were made as shown in the table. The solutions were allowed to settle
    for 5 min, assuming after 5 min the reaction has achieved equilibrium. At equilibrium, the absorbance of each solution was checked
    using a MicroLab instrument. The data was collected at 425 nm. The absorbance value concentration of FeSCN2+ complex can be
    determined using Beer-Lambert's Law.

    A = ε xb x c

    where, ε = molar absorptivity; b = path length; c = concentration

    Since path length is constant, when considering the same cuvette was used to check absorbance. Therefore, the above
    equation can be written as:

    A=εxc

    The value of “ε” is given in laboratory handout.

    Use the following data:

    Sample ID Total Volume (mL) Abs @ 425 nm


    Trial 1 4 mL Fe3+ 5 mL SCN- 9 1.22

    Trial 2 6 mL Fe3+ and 4 mL SCN- 10 1.18

    Trial 3 8 mL Fe3+ and 2 mL SCN- 10 0.89

    Data Analysis:
    Calculate equilibrium concentration of FeSCN2+ complex.
    The initial concentration of Fe3+ and SCN- can be calculated using dilution formula M1V1 = M2V2, since the original
    concentrations of the solutions were given.
    Using an ICE table (or formerly a RICE table), find the equilibrium concentration of Fe3+ and SCN-.
    Find Kc for each dilution.
