The photographs below (a) show what occurs when a solution of iron(III) nitrate is
treated with a few drops of aqueous potassium thiocyanate. The nearly colorless
iron(III) ion is converted to a red [Fe(H2O)5SCN)
2+
ion. (This is a classic test for the
presence of iron(III) ions in solution.)
[Fe(H2O)6
]

(aq) ⇄ [Fe(H2O)5SCN]
2+
(aq) + H2O(ℓ)
(a) As more KSCN is added to the solution, the color becomes even more red.
Explain this observation.
(b) Silver ions form a white precipitate with SCN
