Experiment 3: Chemical Equilibrium Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the equilibrium constant for the formation of FeSCN2+. Introduction Chemical equilibrium is the point in a reversible reaction where the concentration of the reactants and that of the products remains constant. This point of equilibrium is referred to as the Kc value‚ which can be obtained using the formula: Kc = [product] [reactant] In this experiment‚ we used a spectrophometer to
