BACKGROUND: Esterification is a reaction that combines an alcohol with an organic acid‚ with a water molecule is being taken out‚ and an ester is formed. A concentrated acid catalyst speeds up the esterification. In this experiment set up‚ sulphamic acid was used‚ as it is a solid acid and be added dry‚ without any water‚ which is a reactant in this experiment equilibrium. Esterification is a slow and reversible reaction. The equation for the reaction between an acid RCOOH and an alcohol RẬᶦ

Spectrophotometric Determination of an Equilibrium Constant Introduction: In this experiment‚ you will study the reaction between aqueous iron (III) nitrate‚ Fe(NO3)3‚ and potassium thiocyanate‚ KSCN. They react to produce the blood-red complex [Fe(SCN)]2+. Fe3+ + SCN- ( [Fe(SCN)]2+ The equilibrium constant expression may be expressed as: K = [pic] You will prepare a series of standard solutions that contain known concentrations of [Fe(SCN)]2+ and will determine

Determination of an Equilibrium Constant. Abstract: The report presents determination of equilibrium constant for the formation of a complex ion FeSCN2+. This was accomplished using a colorimeter to measure absorbance of some known concentration solutions in order to generate the calibration curve. The equation of the graph was used to compute the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products‚ needed to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction. I. Introduction:

Chemical Equilibrium: Finding equilibrium constant‚ Kc 1 Abstract Chemical reactions are accompanied with formation of products. A reaction can be reversible or forward according to the rate of formation of product. However‚ they do not reach completion and the mixture remains in equilibrium. This theory help us the study the existence of equilibrium constant‚ Kc. This constant is temperature dependent‚ and it must be calculated at given temperature. This equilibrium constant is used

Two-way reactions continue until equalibrium (the state at which there is balance between reactants and products) is reached. Discovering the equilibrium constant for a reaction is very helpful for understanding that reaction. Knowing the equilibrium constant of a reaction is important because it allows you to calculate how much product will ultimately be formed during a reaction. Moreover‚ it also tells you how a particular mixture of chemicals will react. This is because chemical reactions always

types of chemical reaction that occur one goes only in one direction and the other one is reversible. A reversible reaction is when a products starts to form the backward reaction starts where the products turns back to reactant molecules. When the rate of forward and backward reaction is already equal and the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change with time we can say that chemical equilibrium is already achieved. A reaction is said to be at equilibrium when the following

Determination of the Equilibrium Constant for Ferric Thiocyanate In this laboratory exercise‚ the equilibrium constant(Kc) for the reaction between the Ferric Ion (Fe3+) and the Thiocyanate Ion (SCN-) was determined. After measuring the absorbance of the Ferric Thiocyanate‚ and carrying out some calculations; it was determined that Kc=130.81M Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is established when a reaction exists in a state where the forward reaction rate is equal to its reverse reaction rate.

General Chemistry II Determining of the equilibrium constant for the formation of FeSCN2+ Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine the equilibrium concentration and then determine Kc. A dilution calculation was formed to determine the concentration of SCN- and Fe(SCN)2+. Each cuvette was filled to the same volume and can be seen in table 1. Then the absorbances were recorded from each cuvette and can be seen in table 1. A Beer’s law plot was made from the data that was recorded
