5. Compare the values of Keq for each of the five solutions:
a. Are any of the values outside the sample standard deviation for the set?
b. Does the value of the equilibrium constant change when the concentration of either the reactants or products is altered? Why or why not? Explain this based on your calculations of Keq:
c. What caused variation (three reasons) in your values of Keq?
NOTE: the standard deviation is 3.9x102

Transcribed Image Text: 2. Make a data table that allows you to record the actual volumes of the solutions you use to make
the unknown solutions. Record what you actually do-do not assume that just be- cause the
lab manual says to add a particular volume, that you actually added that volume. Always record

Colorimetric Method to Determine the Equilibrium Concentration of
{FENCS}2+
Use test tubes (18 x 150 mm) that have approximately the same diameter. Prepare a table in your
notebook to collect data containing the following information for each of the five unknown
solutions.
• Unknown solution #
Matching standard concentration (of {FeNCS}2+) and/or identity (A-D)
Depth of standard solution
Depth of unknown solution
Colorimetric Procedure
1. Transfer unkown mixture #1 to a clean test tube, saving the beaker (labeled 1) for use in step
3. Using a sheet of white paper on the laboratory bench as a background, hold the test tube
containing Solution #1 next to test tube A. Look directly down both these test tubes to compare
color intensities. Replace test tube A with each of the other standards B-D, comparing color
intensities each time, until you find one that matches closely with the unknown solution
#1. You may find that the color intensity of solution #1 lies between that of two successive
standards, thus establishing a concentration range for equilibrium solution #1. The method
used here is the standard series method.
2. If unknown solution #1 closely matches one standard solution (which should be less intense
than solution #1), proceed to step 3. If solution #1 has a color intensity between two successive
standards, select the standard of lower concentration to continue with Step 3.
3. Now, you will use the balancing method to determine accurately the equilibrium concentration
of {FENCS2+}. Using the standard selected in Step 2, place it side by side with unknown solution
#1 against a white background. If you have selected the correct standard, you will find that
its color is slightly less intense than that of the unknown solution. Carefully pour out small
volumes of the unknown solution into the beaker labeled 1, until the color intensities of the
unknown solution and standard are matched very closely. Measure the depths of the matching
columns of standard and unknown solutions, using a ruler, and record your data in the
appropriate space in your lab notebook. Return the unknown solution from the test tube to the
appropriate beaker.
4. If you have only one test tube, wash the test tube from step 3 well, rinse with distilled water,
and finally rinse with a small amount of unknown solution #2. Fill the test tube with the
remaining unknown solution #2. Repeat steps 1-3 to match color intensities using first the
standard series method and then the balancing method. Record your measured depths of the
matching columns.
5. Perform step 4 for each of the remaining unknown solutions #3, #4, and #5.

2. Although your TA will check your calculations, each group is responsible for the proper
Preparation of its own set of solutions. The members of the group should decide who will
prepare each solution. They should check each other's calculations and proposed procedure
to make sure that each of the solutions will be properly prepared. Each student in the group
These stock solutions will be available in containers or carboys. Obtain only the quantities specified
above in clearly labeled glassware (beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks). Please do not take any more of
these solutions than called for in this experiment! Wastes must be kept to a minimum. Label your
beakers/flasks carefully and note the actual concentrations as recorded on the containers.

solution that you prepared. Save about 20 mL of your standard solution in the appropriate test
of each of the other four standard solutions, taking special care to put them in the appropriate
test tubes. You must have a complete set of about 20 mL of each of the standard solutions, A-D,
in your labeled test tubes.
NOTE: As discussed above, each of these standard solutions will contain a rather high concentration
of Fe3+, which reacts with various much lower concentrations of SCN. This means that the
equilibrium Fe+ + SCN = {FeNCS}²+ will be forced far to the right, causing essentially all of the
SCN to be converted to the {FeNCS}2+ complex ion [Why?]. The [SCN ], is known, and you can
assume that all of it reacts to form {FeNCS}2+ therefore the concentration of {FeNCS}2* present can
be calculated. (They are not exactly equal because of the dilution of the solution through the mixing
of solutions.)
