Use the mean value that you determined for keq to calculate the SCN- concentration in a whose initial Fe3+ concentration was 4x10^-2 M and initial SCN- concentration was 1x10^-3 M. Is all of the SCN- in the form of FeNCS2+ My Keq was 451.51
Fe^3+ (aq) + SCN^- (aq) ------------> FeNCS^2+(aq)
I 0.04 0.001 0
C -x -x +x
E 0.04-x 0.001-x +x
Kc = [FeNCS^2+]/[Fe^3+][SCN^-]
451.51 = x/(0.04-x)(0.001-x)
451.51*(0.04-x)(0.001-x) = x
x = 0.000946
[Fe^3+] = 0.04-x = 0.04-0.000946 = 0.039054M
[SCN-] = 0.001-x = 0.001-0.000946 = 5.4*10^-5M
[FeNCS^2+] = x = 0.000946M
