Fe 3+ + SCN- --> FeSCN 2+
<span>.......Fe 3+.......SCN-.........FeSCN 2+ </span>
<span>I.......0.04..........0.001.............. </span>
<span>C........-x...............-x............. </span>
<span>E.....0.04-x.....0.001-x...........x </span>
<span>Keq = 203.4 = x / (0.04-x)(0.001-x) </span>
<span>203.4 = x / (x^2 - 0.041x + 4x10^-5) </span>
<span>203.4x^2 - 8.34x + 0.00094 = x </span>
<span>203.4x^2 - 9.34x + 0.00094 = 0 </span>
<span>x = -0.0001M or 0.0458M </span>
<span>therefore, according to the calculated Keq, all of the SCN- and Fe 3+ would be fully converted into FeSCN 2+</span>
