Homework Statement




Hi. If I have 3 mL of a Fe3+ solution (0.0007 mol/L) and that is treated with SCN- to form a complex and then is diluted until I have 100 mL of a solution.

What would be the final concentraton of that solution?

Homework Equations



C1*M1= C2*M2

The Attempt at a Solution



I Thought of the equation above, but I know that the formation of that comple must change something!

Concentration of what? You have several ions present (I can list about a dozen, but you don't have to know about most of them).
 
How many moles of your target compound or ion? What final volume is the solution? Molarity is moles per Liter. Is thiocyanate ion added in excess of the ferric ion?
