1.Consider a reaction mixture that has initial concentrations of Fe3+ = 0.0050 M and SCN– = 0.0050 M. Without doing any calculations, which of the following values do you know?
a) The equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+, SCN– , and FeSCN2+
b) The sum of the equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+ , SCN– , and FeSCN2+
c) The product of the equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+ , SCN– , and FeSCN2+
d) The ratio of equilibrium concentrations of products to reactants: [FeSCN2+]/[Fe3+][SCN– ]
e) The ratio of equilibrium concentrations of reactants to products: [Fe3+][SCN– ]/[FeSCN2+]
Explain your answer,
Earlier in the experiment, a calibration curve measuring absorbance on the y-axis and concentration on the x-axis was generated from a set of 3 standard solutions. So, I am thinking perhaps the d and e are known due to a concentration/absorbance ratio that graph?
Next is this question,
Consider a reaction mixture that has an initial concentration of FeSCN2+ = 0.0050 M, no Fe3+ or SCN. Without doing any measurements or calculations, which of the following two values do you know?
a) The equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+, SCN– , and FeSCN2+
b) The sum of the equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+, SCN– , and FeSCN2+
c) The product of the equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+, SCN– , and FeSCN2+
d) The ratio of equilibrium concentrations of products to reactants: [FeSCN2+]/[Fe3+][SCN– ]
e) The ratio of equilibrium concentrations of reactants to products: [Fe3+][SCN– ]/[FeSCN2+]
Explain your answer.
By the way the equation for both is , the equation is Fe3+ (aq) + HSCN (aq) <-----> FeSCN2+ (aq) and everything is 1:1. Using the ice table, Fe3+ is 0.0050M -x , SCN-, is 0.0050M- x. So, we know a and b?
