An equilibrium table is then used to the standard solution, the complex is formed from Fe3+ - Explain the relationship between absorption of light and at equilibrium. The observed red-orange color of an aqueous FeNCS2+ solution results from the absorption of photons with the energy of the complementary color, blue/green. the reactants and products are present in definite the concentrations present in each solution are related by the An equilibrium constant can then be determined for each mixture; the average should be the equilibrium constant value for the formation of the FeSCN2+ ion. Some of these purposes include: to determine the equilibrium constant of a solution by methods of experimentation and to test whether or not the equilibrium constant has the same numerical value under different conditions. This is done most When Fe3+ and SCN−are combined, an equilibrium is established between the two ions and their product, the FeSCN2+ ion, and an equilibrium constant can be written (1).
