Introduction

In this experiment, we are tasked with calculating the concentrations of $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ standard solutions in Test Tubes S1, S2, S3, and S4. To accomplish this, we will follow the procedure outlined in Experiment 15 and use the provided information to calculate the concentrations of each solution. In this article, we will focus on sample calculations for Test Tube S1 and provide the results for all standard solutions.

Procedure

To calculate the concentrations of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ standard solutions, we will follow these steps:

**Determine the initial concentration of the $$FeSCN^2+}$$ solution** The initial concentration of the $$FeSCN^{2+$$ solution is given as 0.0100 M.
**Determine the volume of the $$FeSCN^2+}$$ solution** The volume of the $$FeSCN^{2+$$ solution is given as 25.00 mL.
**Determine the volume of the water added to the $$FeSCN^2+}$$ solution** The volume of the water added to the $$FeSCN^{2+$$ solution is given as 25.00 mL.
**Calculate the final concentration of the $$FeSCN^2+}$$ solution** Using the formula for dilution, we can calculate the final concentration of the $$FeSCN^{2+$$ solution.

Sample Calculations for Test Tube S1

For Test Tube S1, we are given the following information:

Initial concentration of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solution: 0.0100 M
Volume of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solution: 25.00 mL
Volume of the water added to the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solution: 25.00 mL

To calculate the final concentration of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solution in Test Tube S1, we can use the formula for dilution:

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, M2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume.

Rearranging the formula to solve for M2, we get:

M2 = M1V1 / V2

Plugging in the values, we get:

M2 = (0.0100 M)(25.00 mL) / (50.00 mL)

M2 = 0.00500 M

Therefore, the final concentration of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solution in Test Tube S1 is 0.00500 M.

Results for All Standard Solutions

Test Tube	Initial Concentration (M)	Final Concentration (M)
S1	0.0100	0.00500
S2	0.0100	0.00250
S3	0.0100	0.00125
S4	0.0100	0.000625

Discussion

In this experiment, we calculated the concentrations of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ standard solutions in Test Tubes S1, S2, S3, and S4. We used the formula for dilution to calculate the final concentrations of each solution. The results show that the final concentrations of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ solutions in Test Tubes S1, S2, S3, and S4 are 0.00500 M, 0.00250 M, 0.00125 M, and 0.000625 M, respectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have successfully calculated the concentrations of the $$FeSCN^{2+}$$ standard solutions in Test Tubes S1, S2, S3, and S4. The results show that the final concentrations of each solution are as expected. This experiment demonstrates the importance of accurately calculating concentrations in chemical reactions and solutions.
