What is the pH of 0.5M FeCl3?

I am assuming that this FeCl3 is going to be aqueous, as it usually is. Therefore, Fe+3 forms complexes in water in the following manner: B FeCl3(aq) +6H2O → [Fe(H2O)6]3+ Now, because the Fe has a positive charge, it will pull the negative electron cloud towards itself, making the bond holding the H on the OH weaker, which leads to an easier release of protons (H+). Therefore, [Fe(H2O)6]3+ → [Fe(H2O)5]+2 + H+ As you can see, Fe is in the "net reaction" acting as an acid, as it makes the H2O's bound to it release H+ ions into the water. Therefore, FeCl3 is assigned a Ka value, which = 2.0 x 10-3. Now, we need to set up our table: FeCl3 → Fe(H2O)5]+2 + H+ Initial concentration 0.5 M 0.0 M 0.0 M Change (-) x x x Final Concentration 0.5-x x x So, we can set up our equilibrium constant expression: Ka= [H+][ [Fe(H2O)5]+2]/[[Fe(H2O)6]3+] we know Ka therefore: 2.0 x 10-3= x2/0.5-x Solve for x, must use quadratic: 0.001-2.0 x 10-3x-x2=0 Solving the quadratic gives us: x= -0.032639, 0.030639 The negative result is unphysical, because we cannot have a negative concentration, therefore, x= 0.030639, which from our graph tells us that the concentration of H+ = 0.030639M, so to find the pH: -log( 0.030639)= pH = 1.51, so therefore, the pH of 0.5 M FeCl3 is 1.51. Hope that helps, don't know if you needed to know all the details. Praise God! Eugene.

How many grams of FeCl3 does 5.88 X1028 weigh?

I don't have a good calculator, but i'll talk you through (will actually benefit you to do it yourself, this will come back to bite you if you don't learn it). Avagadros number is no. molecules per mole. 5.88x1028 / avagadros number gives your amount of moles. Moles / molecular weight gives weight

What is the balanced equation for FeCl3 and KSCN?

FeCl3 + 6KSCN --> [Fe(SCN)6]-3 + 6K+ + 3Cl- This is a complex ion equation. K has a charge of +1 and Cl has a charge of -1 but since these form an aqueous solution, they are seperated. Put together, the equation cannot be balanced.
