3. Calculations
A. Calculation of K c assuming the reaction
Fe3 (aq)  SCN  (aq)  FeSCN 2 (aq)
1. Find the initial number of moles of Fe 3 and SCN  in the mixtures in test tubes 1
through 5.
2. Using Beer’s law, and your calibration curve, enter the experimentally determined
value of [ FeSCN 2 ] at equilibrium for each of the mixtures in the next to last
column in the table.
3. Find the number of moles of FeSCN 2 in each of the mixtures, and enter the
values in the fifth column of the table. Note that this is also the number of moles
of Fe 3 and SCN  that were used up the reaction.
4. From the number of moles of Fe 3 and SCN  initially present in each mixture,
and the number of moles of Fe 3 and SCN  used up in forming FeSCN 2 ,
calculate the number of moles of Fe 3 and SCN  that remain in each mixture at
equilibrium. Enter the results in columns 3 and 4 of the table.
5. Find the concentrations of all of the species at equilibrium. The volume of the
mixture is 10.00 mL, or 0.0100 liter in all cases. Enter the values in columns 6
and 7 of the table.
6. Calculate K c for the reaction for each of the mixtures by substituting values for
the equilibrium concentrations of Fe 3 , SCN  , and FeSCN 2 in the equilibrium
expression.

concept, as exemplified by Equation 2?
