Qualitatively Investigating Changes in Equilibrium
Research Topic:
In this lab we will be observing the qualitative changes in equilibrium by changing known concentrations of reactants: iron and thiocyanate ions, and finding its effect on the position of equilibrium. We will be using a colorimeter to find the absorbance of the solutions with known concentrations and we will plot a graph of absorbency vs. concentration which will allow us to quantitatively track the changes in equilibrium of a solution. I will be using iron nitrate and potassium thiocyanate in order to give us ironthiocyanate.
