Spectroanalytical Methods

Spectroanalytical methods measure the wavelength and intensity of radiations that are either emitted or absorbed by a molecular or atomic species. These methods are useful for evaluating the electronic or atomic arrangement of the molecules of a given analyte.

In Part 1 of the experiment, you will generate a calibration curve in order to determine el for this reaction. In order to ensure that the [Fe(SCN)2*] for these calibration solutions is accurately known, a large excess of SCN is used, so that the equilibrium for these solutions lies heavily to the products, and we can assume all of the Fe2* added becomes Fe(SCN)2*. In Part 2, you will observe solutions prepared with various initial reactant concentrations in order to determine Keg for the formation of iron(II) thiocyanate.
