If the initial amount of Fe(NO3)3 transferred to the cuvette is 0.026 mol, and the absorbance measurements indicate that 0.01 mol of FeSCN2 are present at equilibrium, what must be [Fe3 ] at equilibrium

Respuesta :

Answer:

Concentration of [tex][Fe^{3+}][/tex] at equilibrium is 7.394 M.

Explanation:

Moles of ferric nitrate = 0.026 mol

Concentration of ferric nitrate = [tex]\frac{0.026 mol}{2.164\times 10^{-3} L}=12.015 M[/tex]

1 mole of ferric nitrate gives 1 mole of ferric ions, then 12.015 M of ferric nitrate solution will have:

[Fe^{3+}]=12.015 M[/tex]

Moles of [tex]Fe(SCN)]^{2+}[/tex] at equilbrium = 0.01 mol

Concentration of [tex]Fe(SCN)]^{2+}[/tex] at equilbrium =

[tex][Fe(SCN)]^{2+}=\frac{0.01 mol}{2.164\times 10^{-3} L}=4.621 M[/tex]

[tex]Fe^{3+}+SCN^-\rightleftharpoons [Fe(SCN)]^{2+}[/tex]

Initially

12.015 M                                0

At equilibrium

(12.015 - 4.621 )M                 4.621 M

Concentration of [tex][Fe^{3+}][/tex] at equilibrium

= (12.015 - 4.621 )M = 7.394 M
