Fossil fuels are made up of organisms that died millions of years ago. Which best describes this source of energy

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

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 $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.

Why is sulfuric acid considered a bronsted acid?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Sulfuric acid is considered as a Bronsted acid because it is a proton donor. When in solution, the molecules of the compound dissociates into ions, the hydrogen ion and the the sulfate ion. It donates the hydrogen ion so it is an acid, a bronsted acid.
