1. In this investigation you will use a Mohr pipette to measure volume. Mohr pipettes use initial and final readings to determine the volume delivered. Explain how to avoid bias in the volume readings.

2. You will be preparing a standard solution by mixing two solutions: 0.200 M Fe(NO3)3 and 0.00200 M KSCN. The concentration of the M Fe(NO3)3 solution is 100 times greater than the concentration of KSCN solution. What is the purpose of using a large concentration of Fe(NO3)3 and a small concentration of KSCN to make the standard solution? Explain.

(a) Avoid parallax error

(b) To ensure that almost all the SCN⁻ has reacted.

Explanation:

(a) Avoiding bias

A Mohr pipet is a graduated pipet. To avoid bias, you should always hold the pipet so the meniscus is at eye level.

If your eye is above or below the meniscus, you will get an incorrect reading of the volume.

(b) Excess Fe³⁺

I am guessing that you are adding different volumes of SCN⁻ to Fe³⁺ to generate a Beer's Law plot of the concentration of FeSCN²⁺.

The problem is that the reaction is an equilibrium  It does not go to completion.

Fe³⁺ + SCN⁻ ⇌ FeSCN²⁺

You use a large excess of Fe³⁺ to drive the position of equilibrium to the right and make sure that almost all the added SCN⁻ is converted to FeSCN²⁺.

the answer is a. co2, this would be colder than the : )

explanation:

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.
