The main purpose of the experiment is to obtain Keq's value of an unknown solution. It was obtained by means of a calibration graph by plotting the concentration of FeSCN2+ ions vs. its absorbance. Formed the best fit line acted as the graph of calibration. The unknown solution's measured absorbance was then plugged into the y variable in the best fit line equation in order to get the concentration of FeSCN2+ at equilibrium.
