In Lab Experiment 2, you studied the following equilibrium:

Fe3+(aq) + SCN(aq)  ⇌  Fe(SCN)2+(aq)

If you knew the equilibrium constant K and the initial concentrations of Fe3+(aq) and SCN(aq), what would be the simplest way to determine the equilibrium concentration of Fe(SCN)2+(aq)?

  •  
    A. 

    By plotting the absorbance of Fe(SCN)2+(aq) versus concentration and determining the slope.

  •  
    B. 

    [Fe(SCN)2+]equ is always equal to the initial concentration of SCN.

  •  
    C. 

    By measuring the absorbance of the equilibrium samples and using the Beer–Lambert law.

  •  
    D. 

    By ensuring that SCN is not in excess relative to Fe3+(aq).

  •  
    E. 

    By writing the equilibrium constant equation and solving it for [Fe(SCN)2+]equ.
