the equilibrium constant (K) is a quantitative measurement of theextent to which a chemical or physical reaction proceeds to completion. If two reactants ofknown initial concentration are mixed and then the concentrations of the products aremeasured once equilibrium has been established, then the equilibrium constant can becalculated using an ICE table.In this experiment you will measure the equilibrium constant for the formation of iron(III)thiocyanate from the iron(III) cation and thiocyanate anion:Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) FeSCN2+(aq)The product, FeSCN2+, is intensely red, which means that its concentration can be measured byusing an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. So long as a solution is not tooconcentrated, the absorption of light at a particular wavelength by a chemical species isdescribed by Beer’s Law:A = εℓ[X] where A = absorption of light (unitless number)ε = molar absorptivity constant (cm-1 M-1)ℓ = path length (cm)[X] = concentration (M)The path length for our…

Most reaction do not go to completions. Equilibrium is established between the reactants and products. For the reaction of A with B to produce C and D, we can write the chemical equation as: аА + bв + сс + dD where + represents equilibrium between the reactants and products. The extent to which the reaction proceeds to product formation, at a given temperature, is given by the equilibrium constant, Kę. The equilibrium constant is written mathematically (for the above equation) as: [C[[D]* K. = [A]°[B]" where, a, b, c, and d are the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced chemical equation and the brackets, [ ], indicate molar concentration. 1. For the following reaction: 2A + В + 3с calculate the equilibrium constant, K, if at equilibrium the concentration of A is 0.15M, the concentration of B is 0.20M, and the concentration of C is 0.10M.
