A student combines Fe(NO3)3 solution and KSCN solution to produce a solution in which the initial concentrations of Fe3+(aq) and SCN–(aq) are both 5.58 × 10–2 M. The chemical equilibrium forms FeSCN2+(aq):             Fe3+ + SCN- <=> FeSCN2+ The absorbance of this solution (from FeSCN2+) is measured as 0.161, and Beer's law equation (the trend line from best fitting) as Absorbance = 189 x Concentration of FeSCN2+ + 0.02 Determine the equilibrium concentration for SCN- in mol/L.

Question

A student combines Fe(NO3)3 solution and KSCN solution to produce a solution in which the initial concentrations of Fe3+(aq) and SCN(aq) are both 5.58 × 10–2 M. The chemical equilibrium forms FeSCN2+(aq):

            Fe3+ + SCN- <=> FeSCN2+

The absorbance of this solution (from FeSCN2+) is measured as 0.161, and Beer's law equation (the trend line from best fitting) as

Absorbance = 189 x Concentration of FeSCN2+ + 0.02

Determine the equilibrium concentration for SCN- in mol/L.
