Abstract
A physical chemistry laboratory exercise is presented in which the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for Fe3+ + SCN- <--> Fe(SCN)2+ in 0.5 M acid is calculated from the experimentally observed equilibrium constant and activity coefficients generated by the Davies extension of the Debye-Hückel theory.

Colorimetric Determination of the Iron(III)−Thiocyanate Reaction Equilibrium Constant with Calibration and Equilibrium Solutions Prepared in a Cuvette by Sequential Additions of One Reagent to the Other
Frazier Nyasulu and Rebecca BarlagJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (3), 313-314Colorimetric Determination of the Iron(III)−Thiocyanate Reaction Equilibrium Constant with Calibration and Equilibrium Solutions Prepared in a Cuvette by Sequential Additions of One Reagent to the Other
Frazier Nyasulu and Rebecca BarlagJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (3), 313-314The well-known colorimetric determination of the equilibrium constant of the iron(III)−thiocyanate complex is simplified by preparing solutions in a cuvette. For the calibration plot, 0.10 mL increments of 0.00100 M KSCN are added to 4.00 mL of 0.200 M Fe(...
