Question

To obtain [FeSCN2+]eq in tube 5, you made the assumption that 100% of the ions SCN– had reacted. Now that you know the value for Kc (average in table 5), build an ICE diagram to calculate the true percentage of SCN– reacted in tube 5. Comment on the validity of the assumption. (Make sure you include the ICE diagram in your anwer) Fe3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) Fe(SCN)2+(aq)

**** PLEASE show the ICE diagram and calculate the true percentage of SCN– in tube 5. THANKS

Explanation / Answer

Let x= drop in concentration of SCN-

ICE table

                                               Fe+3                  SCN-                   FeSCN+2

Initial                                  0.180                    0.0002              0

Change                               -x                              -x                       x

Equilibrium                     0.180-x                0.0002-x                 x

Kc= x/(0.180-x)*(0.0002-x)= 379

When solved using excel, x= 0.0001971

% SCN in the tube= 100*(0.0002-0.0001971)/0.0002=1.45%
