The lab used spectrometric analysis to determine the molar absorptivity and the equilibrium concentration of FSCN2+. With these data, the equilibrium constant for the reaction between the Fe(III) ion and thiocyanic acid was calculated. Introduction: The purpose of this was lab to use Beer’s Law to measure the equilibrium concentrations of FSCN2+ and to use that measurement to determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction. In a reversible reaction, the concentrations of reactants and products oscillate continually until equilibrium is reached. Ongoing research is being conducting regarding equilibrium reactions. One area focuses on drugs targeting biological equilibrium reactions1. Barring external disturbances, once a system reaches equilibrium, it stays at equilibrium. The general form of a reversible reaction is written below: Initially, the concentration of the reagents decreases. As the concentration decreases, the rate of the forward reaction slows down. Meanwhile, the rate of the reverse reaction continually increases. Eventually, the rate of the forward reaction will equal the rate of the reverse reaction, and even though the reaction is still occurring, the change in concentration is insignificant. The equilibrium expression for the general reaction (1) is shown below:Keq is a value that is only dependent on temperature. If A, B, C, and D are mixed at unknown concentrations, the reagents will continuously react until equation (2) is true. The equation for the reaction between iron(III) and thiocyanic acid is shown below:The equilibrium constant of a reaction can …show more content…
Each trial is reacted and measured in the spectrometer before the next trial is reacted. Next, for Part B, “Equilibrium Measurements,” Fe3+ is reacted with thiocyanic acid and nitric acid according to the data in Table 2 across five trials. The initial concentrations of iron(III) ion and thiocyanic acid are noted in Table

Using Equation 4, it can be inferred that the initial temperature of the hot water minus the change in temperature of the mixture equals the temperature of the cold water plus the change in temperature of the mixture (Equation 5). This is then rearranged to indicate that the initial temperature of the hot water is two times the change in temperature plus the initial temperature of the regular water. This is shown in Equation 6.
Firstly, an amount of 40.90 g of NaCl was weighed using electronic balance (Adventurer™, Ohaus) and later was placed in a 500 ml beaker. Then, 6.05 g of Tris base, followed by 10.00 g of CTAB and 3.70 g of EDTA were added into the beaker. After that, 400 ml of sterilized distilled water, sdH2O was poured into the beaker to dissolve the substances. Then, the solution was stirred using the magnetic stirrer until the solution become crystal clear for about 3 hours on a hotplate stirrer (Lab Tech® LMS-1003). After the solution become clear, it was cool down to room temperature. Later, the solution was poured into 500 ml sterilized bottle. The bottle then was fully wrapped with aluminium foil to avoid from light. Next, 1 mL of 2-mercaptoethanol-β-mercapto was added into fully covered bottle. Lastly, the volume of the solution in the bottle was added with sdH2O until it reaches 500 ml. The bottle was labelled accordingly and was stored on chemical working bench.
...eases, including temperature. It is determined from the data that the reaction is more likely to have a step wise mechanism than a concerted due to the small – ΔS and a relatively large value of ΔH from the tables. Due to some errors, it is best to perform another experiment for future protocols. In addition with the variance the 35°C where at one point the absorbance levels off and then increases. In comparison to the rate constant against temperatures, at 25°C it is higher than 35 and 45. More test is required to ensure proper determination of the rate constant at those temperatures.
For this experiment, you will add the measured amount of the first sample to the measured amount of the second sample into its respectively labeled test tube then observe if a reaction occurs. In your Data Table, record the samples added to each test tube, describe the reaction observed, if any, and whether or not a chemical reaction took place.
Why did Bishop name this poem “Sestina”? This question pervades my mind every time I read it through. This is not her first sestina; in her earliest poetry collection North & South, Bishop wrote a sestina titled “Miracle for Breakfast”. It is possible she wrote this poem just to prove that she could, as numerous people have criticized “Miracle for Breakfast” as one of Bishop’s weaker poems, claiming the work to be ultimately hindered by the skeleton of a sestina. It makes sense that a young Bishop struggled with the sestina form because it is incredibly unforgiving. The sestina is a poem divided into seven stanzas: six sestets followed by a three-lined envoi. In this particular example, every line in each of “Sestina[‘s]” sestets
Input variables In this experiment there are two main factors that can affect the rate of the reaction. These key factors can change the rate of the reaction by either increasing it or decreasing it. These were considered and controlled so that they did not disrupt the success of the experiment. Temperature-
The metal Ni2+ and the ligand ethylenediamine (en) are studied in this experiment. Solutions are prepared with varying compositions of Ni(en)n2+. Using the equilibrium constants, it is possible to identify which species is present. If the constant for the formation of a species where n is 2 is larger than a species whose constant equals 3 then the former species is pre-dominant. Jobfs Method is limited in that it will give non-integral values of the n present if a fourth complex, ZLn+1, exists. If there is a large variation between the equilibrium constants then only two complexes will be present in the prepared solutions. The absorbance values are plotted, then the value of n can be calculated.
From looking at the results I can conclude that when the pH was 3 and
Explain what is meant by an equilibrium constant. Was the value constant for all of your experiments? Should it be constant? The equilibrium constant demonstrates the relationship between the reactant and the products in the reaction. It shows the ratio of the products to the reactant when the reaction is at equilibrium and is represented by K. The equilibrium constant should remain constant because the only thing that effects the ratio of the products to reactants is temperature. It remains constant because of the Le Chatelier’s Principle which basically states when equilibrium is disturbed by changing conditions (pressure, adding a catalyst, adding more reactants, etc) the position of the equilibrium moves to counteract the change. The
The gradient of the graph tells us whether the different rate curves have the same relation, meaning if they have a similar rate of reaction. Reactions can take place in a variety of customs; they can bee steep or steady. The steeper the slope, the faster the reaction takes place. The steadier the slope, the slower the reaction takes place. Aim:

My aim in this piece of work is to see the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction in a solution of hydrochloric acid containing sodium thiosulphate. The word equation for the reaction that will occur in the experiment is: Sodium thiosulphate + hydrochloric acid →, sulphur + sulphur dioxide +. sodium chloride + water ? where the sulphur is an insoluble precipitate.
In this experiment three different equations were used and they are the Stoichiometry of Titration Reaction, Converting mL to L, and Calculating the Molarity of NaOH and HCl (Lab Guide pg. 142 and 143).
