Fe3+(aq) (yellow) + scn-(aq) (colorless) fescn2+(aq) (blood-red) chloride ions are colorless. potassium ions are also colorless. the above equilibrium can be created by mixing an iron (iii) chloride solution with a potassium thiocyanate solution. based on this information and the colors in the equilibrium above answer the first two questions. 1. what color would an fecl3 solution be? 2. what color would a kscn solution be? 3. what color do you get when you mix fecl3 and kscn as shown in the video for the control test tube?

Explanation:

The above two reactions xcan also be written in form of single chemcial equation:

1. Color of ferric chloride solution is yellow. This is due to presence of ferric ions which have yellow color in their aqueous solutions.

2. KSCN has the colorless solution. This due to potassium ion forms colorless aqueous solution.

3. On mixing, KSCN with we will get blood red color solution of .

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
