Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the formula for the complex formed when iron(III) ions react with thiocyanate ions?
  • Step 1: Identify the ions involved in the reaction. We have iron(III) ions (Fe^3+) and thiocyanate ions (SCN^-).
  • Step 2: Determine how many thiocyanate ions can bond with one iron(III) ion. Iron(III) can bond with three thiocyanate ions.
  • Step 3: Write the formula for the complex. Since one iron(III) ion bonds with three thiocyanate ions, the formula is [Fe(SCN)3].
