Question

Using Le Chatelier's Principle for this equation, `Fe^(3+) + SCN^(-) -> [Fe(SCN)]^(2+)`, which way would the equilibrium shift occur if `KSCN` was added?

Answer 1

Well, would it not drive the equilibrium to the RIGHT as written.........?

Explanation:

`Fe^(3+)(aq) + ""^(-)SCN rightleftharpoons underbrace([FeSCN]^(2+))_color(red)"blood red"(aq)`

And would not an increase in the intensity of the blood-red colour of the product indicate such an equilibrium shift?
