Refer to compound #2 in the list at the bottom of this page.  Convert {X} mole fraction of compound #2 in water to mass percent. Answer format:  Enter the mass percent in standard notation without the units or a % symbol.  Use 2 sig figs.  

Use the table of Ka values found at the bottom of the page for the monoprotic acids HA, HG, HQ and HX to determine which one has the strongest conjugate base?

         Spectrophotometry is used to determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction,       Fe3+ + SCN-  à  [FeSCN]2+ by measuring the “redness” of the iron thiocyanate complex.  Given the information provided, calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction.                  [Fe3+]initial = 2.00 x 10-3 M                [SCN-]initial = {th} x 10-4 M                Absorbance (A) at 477 nm for [FeSCN]2+ = 0.64 Answer format:  Enter the value of Kc in standard (not scientific) notation using 3 SF.
