• Today – look at a dynamic equilibrium reaction between varying concentrations of reactants for the following equation:
Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) FeSCN2+(aq) clear clear ORANGE
To determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction:

SCNFe
FeSCNK
Equilibrium Constant Equilibrium Constant
Step One:Prepare the 8 solutions (7 reactions plus blank) on bottom of pg. 5
use one exclusive pipette per reactantone for Fe+3 (Same as Fe(NO3)3) or [Fe(H2O)6]+3
one for SCN- (Same as KSCN)one for DI water
Take enough of each solution to do mixing at your benchtop(how much do you need?)use medium or large test tubes *DO NOT USE SMALL**LABEL YOUR SOLUTIONS!!!!
Equilibrium Constant Equilibrium Constant
Step Two:Calibrate the instrument ( = 447 nm ) (similar to last week)
0%T is door shut, no cuvet
100 %T is the prepared BLANK solution (bottom of page 5)
Step Three:Record % T for each solution (not absorbance, page 3, 4, 6,
7)
Use only one cuvet
No need to clean cuvet between solutions – simply dump cuvet contents in a beaker from your drawer, and rinse with a little of the next solution, then fill ¾ full with that solution
ALL WASTE IN WASTE BEAKER IN FUME HOOD!!!!!!!

Step Four, WHAT TO DO WITH THE DATA:
Make a Calibration Curve using given data on page 6 and an excel spreadsheet• y vs. x (Absorbance vs. concentration)• From the calibration curve, determine linear equation• Linear equation will be in the form
• y = mx + b• Abs = m*[Fe(SCN)]+2 + b (b is y intercept and should be 0 abs at 0 concentration)• Abs = [·ℓ] * c Beer’s Law• Abs = [·ℓ] * [Fe(SCN)]+2 • [·ℓ] = m • Get [·ℓ] => from equation on Calibration Curve
Abs = 5126.7*C - 0.0028R2 = 0.9998

Calibration Curve for FeSCN2+
Made from data on page 6, remember slope = ε * l, and l = 1 cm
Use information from linear equation of the calibration curve to convert absorbance values into c=[FeSCN2+] for your 7 solutions!

ε=5126.7 units!!!
Equilibrium Constant – Data Table (make in EXCEL)
Equilibrium Constant – Data Table (make in EXCEL)
Using Dr. Ng’s example, make a similar table in EXCEL and input YOUR data for your 7 solutions:

Calibration Curve with ε clearly marked on chart – full page and landscaped
excel data spreadsheet (formatted similar to example .pdf file with gridlines and data)
sample calcs for each column of spreadsheet (choose one row)
significant figures and units
