METHOD Your goal is to determine the equilibrium constant for reaction (4). In order to determine Keq, experimentally, we must find the equilibrium molarities of each of the species [Fe]eq, [H₂SSA]eq, and [FeSSA]eq from solution mixtures that you will prepare as described below. The Hydrogen ion concentration [H]eq may be assumed to remain constant since its concentration is much higher than the other species present at equilibrium, and therefore is omitted from the Keq expression. In your lab notebook abstract, you should write out the equilibrium constant expression Keq for this reaction. The product FeSSA, absorbs visible light, while all other species present are essentially colorless. We can therefore determine the equilibrium molarity of the product species FeSSA by measuring its absorbance at an appropriate wavelength and using Beer's Law, as explained below. The equilibrium molarities of the other species will be determined by using a reaction table, as you have done in homework problems and in class. Beer's Law. Beer's law is an empirical law stating that the concentration C (in moles per liter) of a chemical species in solution is directly proportional to its absorbance A: A&C with the proportionality constant being a product of the pathlength and the molar absorptivity & (a measure of how strongly the solution absorbs light of a given wavelength) A-EIC For our experiments, I is fixed at 1.0 cm. Thus, a graph of the molarities vs. the absorbances of various solutions (at a fixed appropriate wavelength) will yield a straight Ay line, the slope of which may be determined either manually (by calculating from Ax measured x and y values) or using a computer program such as Excel TM. Once the slope is known, molarities of unknown solutions may be calculated from their measured absorbance values. You should be familiar with this method, as it was employed in chem. 1A.
