Spring 2023 CHEM 120 Determination of Equilibrium Constants Post-Lab Questions M-Th. Make sure that your responses to these discussion questions is legible, if your responses are illegible they will not receive credit. We suggest that you type your responses. Using the data that you collected and wrote in your lab notebook during lab, organize your data into the required tables or graphs. Make sure that you format the table properly, i.e. include a title and labels for your columns, etc. Also make sure your plots are properly formatted and clearly labeled. 1. In a table, compile the [FeSCN 2+ ] for the serial dilutions and the associated absorbance values. Please make sure to include all proper labels and units. (2 points) Solution [SCN - ] initial , (M) [FeSCN 2+ ] eq , (M) Absorbance Stock Solution 0.000200 0.000200 0.628 Dilution 1 (50.0%) 0.000100 0.000100 0.253 Dilution 2 (25.0%) 0.0000500 0.0000500 0.108 Dilution 3 (12.5%) 0.0000250 0.0000250 0.029 2. In a second table, tabulate the absorbance values for the trial solutions with the volumes of 0.0020 M Fe(NO 3 ) 3 and 0.0020 M KSCN used. Please include all proper labels and units. (2 points) Sample Number 0.0020 M Fe(NO 3 ) 3 (mL) 0.00200 M KSCN (mL) Absorbance 1 9.0 1.0 0.094 2 8.0 2.0 0.179 3 7.0 3.0 0.200 4 6.0 4.0 0.332 5 5.0 5.0 0.537 6 4.0 6.0 0354 7 3.0 7.0 0.324 8 2.0 8.0 0.273 9 1.0 9.0 0.148 3. During lab, a student observed a darkening of the color in the “temperature” solution when placed in an ice water bath. Based on these observations, A. Is the reaction Fe 3+ (aq) + SCN (aq) FeSCN 2+ (aq) endothermic or exothermic? Exothermic, the color darkened indicating that the reaction is moving towards products. It moves forwards in motion. Heat was a product.
B. What would happen to the average value of K if the experiment were performed at a higher ambient temperature? (3 points) The increase of temperature means the reactants are favored. The average K decreases. 4. What changes did you observe in your “NaCl” and “NaH 2 PO 4 ” solutions when you added the reagents? Based on your observation, does the addition of these reagents shift the equilibrium to the reactants side or the products side? (3 points) For NaCl the solution became lighter and then basically clear slowly. NaH 2 PO 4 the solutions became clear immediately. This means there was a shift towards reactants. To make it at equilibrium again we have to shift towards product.
