### Iron(III)–Thiocyanate Equilibrium Experiment

#### Experiment Overview

A student is studying the iron(III)–thiocyanate equilibrium by mixing equal amounts of 0.10 M Fe(NO₃)₃ and 0.10 M KSCN, along with some distilled water, into three separate containers. Each container then gets one of the following reagents mixed in:

\[ \text{Fe}^{3+} (aq) + \text{SCN}^{-} (aq) \leftrightarrow \text{Fe(SCN)}^{2+} (aq) \]

The goal is to determine how the equilibrium will be affected by the addition of each reagent.

#### Reagents Added to the Equilibrium Mixtures

1. **Adding 0.10 M Fe(NO₃)₃** 
   - This will shift the equilibrium [Select shift direction].

2. **Adding 0.10 M KSCN**
   - This will shift the equilibrium [Select shift direction].

3. **Adding 0.10 M NaOH**
   - This will shift the equilibrium [Select shift direction].

### Equilibrium Principles

The equilibrium behavior of the system can be predicted by Le Chatelier's Principle, which states that a system at equilibrium will adjust concentrations to counteract a disturbance. Therefore:

- Adding more Fe³⁺ ions will shift the equilibrium to the right to form more \[ \text{Fe(SCN)}^{2+} \].
- Adding more \[ \text{SCN}^{-} \] ions will also shift the equilibrium to the right to form more \[ \text{Fe(SCN)}^{2+} \].
- Adding NaOH will remove Fe³⁺ from the solution by forming Fe(OH)₃, shifting the equilibrium to the left.

Each reagent impacts the equilibrium differently by changing the concentration of reactants or products in the reaction.
