Can anyone please help me with the chem1 lab question?!

OpenStudy (askme12345):

10.00 mL of 3.62E-3 M Fe(NO3)3 is mixed with 2.00 mL of 3.16E-3 M KSCN and 8.00 mL of water. The equalibrium molarity of Fe(SCN)2+ is found to be 9.78E-5 M. If the reaction proceeds as shown below, what is the value of Kc for the reaction?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Write a balanced chemical equation. Use an I.C.E. table to find the concentrations at equilibrium, then plug those values into it's equilibrium expression.

OpenStudy (askme12345):

can u solve and show me steps or just show me because this is still confusing toe me

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i can't solve it for you, but i can help you if you get stuck. Start by writing a balanced equation for the process.

OpenStudy (askme12345):

Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) FeSCN2+(aq)

OpenStudy (askme12345):

yields between scn and fescn2

OpenStudy (aaronq):

it's not balanced, Fe3+(aq) + 2 SCN-(aq) -> FeSCN2+(aq) now you have to find the moles with \(Molarity=\dfrac{n_{solute}}{L_{solution}}\) now use an ICE table (initial, change, final). Fe3+(aq) + 2 SCN-(aq) -> FeSCN2+(aq) I C E

OpenStudy (aaronq):

before you make the table, find the molarity of each after mixing (i.e. divide the moles of each by the total volume of solution, 20 mL)

OpenStudy (askme12345):

okay molarity is - 1.22e-4 of FE, 1.86e-4 of SCN and 2.835e-6 of the total

OpenStudy (askme12345):

okay i believe i have solved it

OpenStudy (askme12345):

product/reacants

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so these numbers are the molarity taking into account the total volume?

OpenStudy (askme12345):

yes

OpenStudy (aaronq):

okay now you need an ice table, (to figure out how much of the reactants you lost).

OpenStudy (askme12345):

molarity is on the I colum

OpenStudy (askme12345):

how do i approach the rest

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so you would do this; Fe3+(aq) + 2 SCN-(aq) -> FeSCN2+(aq) I 1.22e-4 1.86e-4 0 C -x -2x +x E 1.22e-4 (1.86e-4)-2x 2.835e-6 so x=2.835e-6 now find the rest of the equilibrium concentrations and plug into the eq expression K=[prod]/[reactants]

OpenStudy (askme12345):

the numbers in the problem have changed can u check my work

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i made a mistake it should read E 1.22e-4-x (1.86e-4)-2x 2.835e-6

OpenStudy (aaronq):

post it?

OpenStudy (askme12345):

okay heres the q 5.00 mL of 3.16E-3 M Fe(NO3)3 is mixed with 5.00 mL of 3.89E-3 M KSCN and 0.00 mL of water. The equalibrium molarity of FeSCN2+ is found to be 7.90E-5 M. If the reaction proceeds as shown below, what is the value of Kc for the reaction?

OpenStudy (askme12345):

heres my ice chart feno3 kscn fescn2+ i 6.32e-4 7.78e-4 0 c -x -2x +x e6.162e-4 7.746e-4 1.58e-5

OpenStudy (askme12345):

so product/reactant 1.58e-5/(6.162e-4)(7.746e-4)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so you're missing the exponent on [KSCN] from the equation \(K=\dfrac{[Fe(SCN)_2]}{[KSCN]^2[Fe(NO_3)_3]}\)
