Exploring Equilibrium - It Works Both Ways

Today, we began our investigation into factors which affect equilibrium in the "Exploring Equilibrium - It Works Both Ways" Lab.  We will complete the discussion of the lab tomorrow.  I will be collecting the journals on Monday.  In addition, we will be having a quiz on equilibrium on Wednesday.

HW: Complete the following journal entry -
Write a summary lab report for the "Determining the Keq of a Reaction" lab (purpose, materials, procedure - part 1 for the reference solutions and part 2 for the experimental solutions, data, analysis, and conclusion).  Include an explanation of the Beer-Lambert law which was used to determine the concentration of iron thiocyanate in solution as well as an explanation of the concentrations used to produce the reference solutions.
