What is the free iron(III) concentration in a solution that was initially 0.10 M Fe3+ and 1.0M SCN-? [Fe(SCN)2]+, Kf 2.3103
Fe^3+ (aq) + 2SCN^- (aq) ----------------------> [Fe(SCN)2}^+ (aq)
I 0.1 1 0
C -0.1 2*-0.1 0.1
E 0 0.8 0.1
x 0.8 0.1
Kf = [Fe(SCN)2}^+/[Fe^3+][SCN^-]^2
2.3*10^3 = 0.1/x*(0.1)^2
x = 0.1/2.3*10^3*(0.1)^2 = 0.00435
[Fe^3+] = x = 0.00435M
