Consider the reversible reaction, Fe+3aqYellow+SCN−aqcolourless⇌FeSCN+2aqdeep redA red colour appears on adding two drops of 0.002 M potassium thiocyanate solution to 1 ml of 0.2 M of Iron(III) nitrate solution due to the formation of FeSCN+2. At equilibrium intensity of red colour remains constant. Intensity of red colour decreases by the addition of (A) H2C2O4aq(B) HgCl2aq(C) KSCNaq

Detailed Solution
A) Addition of H2C2O4aqFe+3+3C2O4-2→FeC2O43−3This decreases Fe+3 thus favours backward reaction. Intensity of red colour decreases.B) Addition of HgCl2aqHg+2+4SCN-→ HgSCN4-2This decreases SCN- thus favours backward reaction. Intensity of red colour decreases.C) Addition of KSCNaqFe+3+SCN−→FeSCN+2This increases FeSCN+2 thus favours forward reaction. Intensity of red colour increases.
