Fe³⁺_(aq) + KSCN_(s) → FeSCN²⁺_(aq) + K⁺_(aq)

To determine the moles of Fe³⁺_(aq) in a 100. mL sample of an unknown solution, excess KSCN_(s) is added to convert all the Fe³⁺_(aq) into the dark red species FeSCN²⁺_(aq), as represented by the equation above. The absorbance of FeSCN²⁺_(aq) at different concentrations is shown in the graph above.

If the absorbance of the mixture is 0.20 at 453 nm, how many moles of Fe³⁺_(aq) were present in the 100. mL sample? (Assume that any volume change due to adding the KSCN_(s) is negligible.)

• 4 × 10⁻⁴ mol

• 3 × 10⁻⁴ mol

• 4 × 10⁻⁶ mol

• 3 × 10⁻⁶ mol
