Lab 1: Equilibrium Constant Determination You will have to determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction between aqueous iron(III) ion and thiocyanate ion. The equilibrium equation is given below: Fe3+ (aq) + NCS– (aq) <---> FeNCS2+ (aq) yellow colorless red The absorbance of light is measured using a spectrophotometer. The higher the absorbance, the higher the concentration of FeNCS2+ present. At room temperature, 5.00ml of 0.200M iron(III)nitrate solution was mixed with 5.00ml of 0.200M potassium thiocyante solution. The absorbance of this mixture was 0.55. A 1cm thick cuvette was used. The Beer-Lambert Law relates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling. In other words “The path length and concentration of a chemical are directly proportional to its absorption of light.” A = ԐCl Slope= 5420.3 A =A0 + ԐCl The slope is Ԑl. Both the slopes will equal. Ԑl = 5420.3 the cuvette is 1 cm in diameter that means the path length is also 1 cm. So, Ԑl= 5420.3/1=5420.3 M−1cm−1 What is the equilibrium concentration of iron(III)thiocyante of our solution? What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at room temperature? If we had used a temperature different the room temp, would that change our equilibrium constant? Explain your answer.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.

The Beer-Lambert Law relates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling. In other words “The path length and concentration of a chemical are directly proportional to its absorption of light.” A = ԐCl
Slope= 5420.3
A =A0 + ԐCl
The slope is Ԑl.
Both the slopes will equal.
Ԑl = 5420.3
the cuvette is 1 cm in diameter that means the path length is also 1 cm. So,
Ԑl= 5420.3/1=5420.3 M−1cm−1
- What is the equilibrium concentration of iron(III)thiocyante of our solution?
- What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at room temperature?
- If we had used a temperature different the room temp, would that change our equilibrium constant? Explain your answer.
I'm not asking for the slope I already know what that is i've wasted 2 question with people telling me what the slope is when its clearly stated above. I just want help understanding my homework.
