For the given reaction, choose the correct expression of KC from the following :- Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) (FeSCN)2+(aq)
- KC = [ Fe3+][SCN-][ FeSCN2+]
- KC = [ FeSCN2+][ Fe3+][SCN-]
- KC = [ FeSCN2+]2[ Fe3+][SCN-]
- KC = [ FeSCN2+][ Fe3+]2[SCN-]2
Answer
(2) KC = [ FeSCN2+][ Fe3+][SCN-]
Solution
Law of mass action: KC = [products][reactants], each concentration raised to its coefficient (all coefficients = 1 here)
∴ KC = [ FeSCN2+][ Fe3+][SCN-]
Answer: (2)
