A large relative concentration of Fe3+will be used to shift the equilibrium Fe3+ + SCN− ⇄ Fe(SCN)2+ virtually completely to the right. As a result, essentially all SCN- ions will be converted to Fe(SCN)2+ ions. This technique enables us to calculate the concentration of these ions during the Beer's law study.
Ferric = Iron(III) = Fe3+
When 90.0mL of 0.10M Fe3 plus 3 is added to 10.0 mL of SCN minus 1, you get an equilibrium molar concentration of FeNCS plus 2. This is determined from a calibration curve of 1.0x10-6 mol/L.
To separate Fe3+ ions, one can use a reagent like ammonia (NH3) which forms a complex with Fe3+ ions called iron(III) hydroxide. This complex precipitates out of the solution, allowing for the separation of Fe3+ ions from other components in the mixture.
The effect of the change in concentration on chemical equilibria can be predicted qualitatively by Le Chatelier's Principle. Consider the following reaction:Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)Fe(SCN)2+(aq)If you add Fe3+(aq), that is an increase in the concentration of Fe3+(aq), and the equilibrium position shifts to the left (i.e. the product side). That is because the Le Chatelier's Principle states, if the reaction condition of an equilibrium system is changed, the equilibrium position will shift in a way to REDUCE the effect of the change. When the equilibrium position shifts to the left in the above system, that means the forward reaction rate increases (the backward reaction rate remains the same). More product is hence produced, in this case, Fe(SCN)2+(aq).Conversely, if you add Fe(SCN)2+(aq), the equilibrium position shifts to the right (i.e. the reactant side). This time the backward reaction rate increases while the forward reaction rate remains, hence more reactants (Fe3+(aq) and SCN-(aq)) are produced.The concentration effect on equilirium can sometimes be observed. In the above reaction, Fe3+(aq) is yellow, SCN-(aq) is colourless and Fe(SCN)2+(aq)is deep red. If the equilibrium position shifts to the left due to the concentration effect, more Fe(SCN)2+(aq) is produced and the colour of the reaction mixture becomes darker, due to the colour of Fe(SCN)2+(aq). Conversely, if the equilibrium position shifts to the right, the colour becomes paler.
To calculate the equilibrium constant for the formation of FeSCN2, you need to know the initial concentrations of Fe3 and SCN-.
