1 AP Chemistry Laboratory #16: Determination of the Equilibrium Constant of FeSCN 2 Lab days: Thursday and Friday, February 22-23, 2018 Lab due: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 Goal (list in your lab book): The goal of this lab is to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction of iron (III) ions and thiocyanate ions forming the complex ion FeSCN 2. Background (DON T write in your lab book): There are many reactions that take place in solution that are equilibrium reactions. They do not go to completion; both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring, and both reactants and products are always present. Examples of this type of reaction include weak acids, such as acetic acid, dissociating in water; weak bases, such as ammonia, reacting with water; and the formation of complex ions in which a metal ion combines with one or more negative ions. In this lab, a reaction involving the formation of complex ions from solutions of iron (III) and thiocyanate ions will be studied, and the equilibrium constant of the reaction will be determined. Chemical reactions are driven to completion by two forces: a decrease in energy (exothermic reactions), or an increase in entropy. If both an energy decrease and an entropy increase occur in the forward reaction, the reaction will go to completion. An example of this type of reaction is combustion the reaction is exothermic and has an increase in entropy, so it goes to completion. However, when an energy decrease drives a reaction in one direction and an entropy increase drives it in the reverse direction, equilibrium will result. The reaction will not go to completion, but it will reach a point where both reactants and products are present in a fixed ratio of concentrations. The reaction will continue at the same rate in both forward and reverse directions, and the concentrations of products and reactants will stay constant. These ideas can be expressed mathematically in the form of the equilibrium constant. Consider the following general equation for a reversible chemical reaction: aa bb cc dd The equilibrium constant, K eq, for this general equation is, where square brackets refer to the molar concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium. The equilibrium constant gets its name from the fact that for any reversible reaction, the value of K eq is a constant at a particular temperature. The concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium vary, depending on the initial amounts of materials present. The special ratio of products to reactants described by the K eq is always the same as long as the system has reached equilibrium and the temperature does not change. The value of K eq can be calculated if the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium are known. The reversible chemical reaction of iron (III) ions with thiocyanate ions provides a convenient example for determining the equilibrium constant of a reaction. Fe 3 and SCN - ions combine
2 to form the FeSCN 2 ion according to the equation Fe 3 (aq) SCN - (aq) FeSCN 2 (aq) pale yellow colorless blood-red The value of K eq can be determined experimentally by mixing known concentrations of Fe 3 and SCN - ions and measuring the concentration of FeSCN 2 ions at equilibrium. The concentration of FeSCN 2 complex ions at equilibrium is proportional to the intensity of the red color. A colorimeter will be used to measure the concentration of FeSCN 2 ions using Beer s Law (also called the Beer-Lambert Law), A = a b c where A is the absorbance, a is the molar absorptivity of the sample, b is the cell path length, and c is the molar concentration of the substance absorbing the light. A graph of absorption verses concentration is a straight line. This experiment has two parts. In the first part, a series of reference solutions and test solutions are prepared. The reference solutions are prepared by mixing a large excess of Fe 3 ions with known, smaller amounts of SCN - ions. According to Le Châtelier s Principle, the large excess of iron (III) ions should effectively convert all of the thiocyanate ions to the blood-red FeSCN 2 complex ions. The concentration of FeSCN 2 complex ions in the reference solutions is essentially equal to the initial concentration of SCN - ions. The test solutions are prepared by mixing a constant amount of Fe 3 ions with different amounts of SCN - ions. These solutions contain unknown concentrations of FeSCN 2 ions at equilibrium. In the second part, the absorbances of both the reference solutions and the test solutions are measured by a colorimeter. A calibration curve is constructed from the absorption values of the reference solutions. The unknown concentrations of FeSCN 2 in the test solutions are calculated by comparing their absorbances to the absorbance values on the calibration curve. These values are then used to determine the equilibrium concentrations and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Research questions (please answer in your lab book in complete sentences): 1) Define chemical equilibrium. 2) Briefly explain Le Châtelier s Principle. 3) A similar reaction to our is Ag (aq) 2 NH 3 (aq) Ag(NH 3 ) 2 (aq) (a) Write the equilibrium constant expression K for the reaction. (b) An experiment was carried out to determine the value of the K for the reaction. The following data were collected: Initial moles of Ag = 3.6 x 10-3 mol Initial moles of NH 3 present = 6.9 x 10-3 mol Measured concentration of Ag(NH 3 ) 2 at equilibrium = 3.4 x 10-2 M Total volume of solution = 100. ml i. Calculate the number of moles of Ag(NH 3 ) 2 at equilibrium ii. Calculate the number of moles of Ag that reacted to make Ag(NH 3 ) 2 at equilibrium
3 iii. Calculate the number of unreacted moles of Ag at equilibrium. iv. Calculate the molarity of the unreacted Ag at equilibrium. v. Calculate the number of unreacted moles of NH 3 at equilibrium. vi. Calculate the molarity of the unreacted NH 3 at equilibrium. vii. Use the molarities at equilibrium to calculate the value of the equilibrium constant. 4) Use the dilution equation (M 1 V 1 = V 2 M 2 ) to calculate the concentration of the SCN - ions in the five reference solutions before any reaction occurs. (NOTE: You are solving for the diluted molarity of SCN - for each of the reference solutions. Remember the total volume will be the total of all liquids added to the sample!) 5) Use the same dilution equation to calculate the concentrations of Fe 3 and SCN - ions in each test solution after mixing them together but before any reaction occurs. (NOTE: You are solving for diluted molarities of Fe 3 and SCN - separately in each of the test solutions. Remember the total volume will be the total of all liquids added to the sample!) 6) In the first part of the lab, we will use M Fe(NO 3 ) 3 and M KSCN. Why are we using such vastly different molarities? (HINT: Read the background section!) 7) Read through the background section and the procedure. (a) Why are we preparing samples 1-5? (Be specific!) (b) Why are we preparing samples 6-10? (Be specific!)
