Explanation / Answer
From the given experiment
A) Preparation of standard solutions
[SCN-] is the is the limiting reagent here
Total volume of solution = 10 ml
[SCN-] added = [FeSCN]2+ formed
Solution A : [FeSCN]2+ = 9 x 10^-4 M x 3 ml/10 ml = 2.7 x 10^-4 M
Solution B : [FeSCN]2+ = 9 x 10^-4 M x 4 ml/10 ml = 3.6 x 10^-4 M
Solution C : [FeSCN]2+ = 9 x 10^-4 M x 5 ml/10 ml = 4.5 x 10^-4 M
Solution D : [FeSCN]2+ = 9 x 10^-4 M x 6 ml/10 ml = 5.4 x 10^-4 M
Solution E : [FeSCN]2+ = 9 x 10^-4 M x 0 ml/10 ml = 0 M
Plot Absorbance on y-axis versus concentration [FeSCN]2+ on x-axis
Slope = molar extinctional coefficient for [FeSCN]2+
= (1.83 - 1.088)/(5.4 x 10^-4 - 4.5 x 10^-4)
= 8244 M-1.cm-1
B) Equilibrium constant
[Fe3+]initial
Solution X : [Fe3+]initial = 0.01 M x 5 ml/10 ml = 0.005 M
Solution Y : [Fe3+]initial = 0.01 M x 3 ml/10 ml = 0.003 M
Solution Z : [Fe3+]initial = 0.01 M x 7 ml/10 ml = 0.007 M
[SCN-]initial
Solution X : [SCN-]initial = 0.0011 M x 5 ml/10 ml = 0.00055 M
Solution Y : [SCN-]initial = 0.0011 M x 7 ml/10 ml = 0.00077 M
Solution Z : [SCN-]initial = 0.0011 M x 3 ml/10 ml = 0.00033 M
[FeSCN]2+eq
Solution X : [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.954/8244 = 1.16 x 10^-4 M
Solution Y : [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.830/8244 = 1.01 x 10^-4 M
Solution Z : [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.600/8244 = 7.28 x 10^-5 M
[Fe3+]eq
Solution X : [Fe3+]eq = [Fe3+]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.005 - 1.16 x 10^-4 = 4.88 x 10^-3 M
Solution Y : [Fe3+]eq = [Fe3+]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.003 - 1.01 x 10^-4 = 2.90 x 10^-3 M
Solution Z : [Fe3+]eq = [Fe3+]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.007 - 7.28 x 10^-5 = 6.93 x 10^-3 M
[SCN-]eq
Solution X : [SCN-]eq = [SCN-]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.00055 - 1.16 x 10^-4 = 4.34 x 10^-4 M
Solution Y : [SCN-]eq = [SCN-]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.00077 - 1.01 x 10^-4 = 6.69 x 10^-4 M
Solution Z : [SCN-]eq = [SCN-]initial - [FeSCN]2+eq = 0.00033 - 7.28 x 10^-5 = 2.57 x 10^-4 M
Keq = [FeSCN]2+eq/[Fe3+]eq/[SCN-]eq
Solution X : Keq = (1.16 x 10^-4)/(4.88 x 10^-3)(4.34 x 10^-4) = 54.77
Solution Y : Keq = (1.01 x 10^-4)/(2.90 x 10^-3)(6.69 x 10^-4) = 52.06
Solution Z : Keq = (7.28 x 10^-5)/(6.93 x 10^-3)(2.57 x 10^-4) = 40.90
average Keq = 49.24
