Balanced equation?

Question

When the pale yellow solution of FeCl3 and the colorless soultion of KSCN were mixed the resulting solution was blood red.

Write a balanced equation for the equilibrium that existed after the ferric and thiocyanate ions were combined in a beaker

Answer 1

You form the Fe(SCN)2+(aq) ion

so:

FeCl3(aq) + KSCN(aq) --> [Fe(SCN)]Cl2(aq) + KCl(aq)
