A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so

lution had an absorbance of 0.480 . Fe3+(aq)+SCN−(aq)↽−−⇀FeSCN2+(aq) A trial solution was made in a similar manner, but with a more dilute Fe(NO3)3 reagent. The initial SCN− concentration, immediately after mixing, was 0.00050 M . This trial solution had absorbance of 0.220 . What is the equilibrium concentration of SCN− in the trial solution?

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of Fe^{3+} and SCN^-.

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol

and,

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)

Since 1 mole of Fe^{3+} reacts with 1 mole of SCN^- to give 1 mole of FeSCN^{2+}

The limiting reagent is, SCN^-

So, the number of moles of FeSCN^{2+} = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of FeSCN^{2+}.

\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient

\epsilon and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- is,

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{initial} = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the [FeSCN^{2+}].

C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M

Now calculate the concentration of SCN^-.

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M

What is the purpose of a buffer?
devlian [24]
The main purpose of a buffer solution is just to resist the change in pH so that the pH of the solution won't be much affected when we add an acid or base into it. The added acid or base is neutralized.

When parallel light rays exit a concave lens,the light ray is?
ad-work [718]
When parallel rays exit a concave lens, the light rays are divergent.
The rays diverge or bend away from the axis it has been traveling upon entering the lens when it reaches the other side of the lens. These rays appear to have come from the same focal point before entering the concave lens. When these parallel rays are extended, it will be traced back to a single point of origin.
