I recently performed a lab on Chemical Equilibrium.

Here is some background on the experiment:

-We made a stock solution by combining Fe(NO3)3 and NH4SCN. This made a blood red solution. Then, we added different reagents to see the change of color and the shift of equilibrium.

I'm being asked the following question: Based on the color of solutions reported, determine the direction of the reaction's: Fe^3+(aq)+SCN^- --> [FeSCN]^2+(aq) equilibrium shift upon each addition of each reagent investigated and write the chemical reaction involving the reagent that is reponsible for the shift.

We investigated the following additions:

a. 1 M iron (III) nitrate

-Upon adding iron (III) nitrate to the blood red stock solution, it turned a somewhat lighter red.

b. 1 M ammonium thiocyanate

-Upon adding this to the stock solution, it turned from blood red to a dark red/black

c. 0.1 M tin (II) chloride

-Upon adding this to the stock solution, it turned from blood red to a cloudy orange color.

Please explain how you determined the shift and equation, I don't understand how to find either.

Thank you so much for your help!

Why are we performing each of the following four steps during the work-up of the second synthesis (“Hydrogenation of a Chalcone”)? (What is the purpose of each step?) Please explain.

a) Add 15 mL of brine and 10 mL of ethyl acetate to the mixture. Shake vigorously, then separate the ethyl acetate layer from the aqueous phase. Store the ethyl acetate layer in a dry, clean Erlenmeyer flask.

b) Extract the aqueous phase again with an additional 5 mL of ethyl acetate.

c) Combine the two ethyl acetate solutions and wash this ethyl acetate layer with 5 mL of brine. Drain the aqueous phase and pour the ethyl acetate solution into a clean 25-mL Erlenmeyer flask.

d) Dry the organic phase with anhydrous magnesium sulfate for 5 min.

in a lab experiment to test the change in temperature of NaCl and the change in temperature of water:

Specific heat of NaCl is 0.88
specific heat of DI water is 4.2

in the experiment, the change in temperature for the water was much greater than the change in temperature of the table salt as well as the change in energy.
(when using equation E = g C × change in T)

why did this occur?

Pre-Lab Assignment

1. A 0.1017 g sample of KBrO3 was dissolved in dilute acid and treated with an excess of KI. BrO3¯ + 9I¯ + 6H+ Br¯ + 3I3¯ + 3H2O The generated I3¯ required 27.39 mL of a Na2S2O3 solution to reduce it to I¯. Use the above equation and those found in the introduction to determine the molarity of the Na2S2O3 solution.

2. The following data was obtained for an iodometric titration of an ascorbic acid tablet.

Mass of tablet: 1.2381 g

Mass of sample analyzed: 0.2483 g

Vol. of 0.0166 mol•L-1 KIO3: 25.00 mL

Vol. of 0.0198 mol•L-1 Na2S2O3 to reach endpoint: 11.01 mL

Using the equations found in the introduction, determine: the mass of ascorbic acid in the sample analyzed and the mass of ascorbic acid contained within the tablet.
