In which direction will the point of equilibrium shift when the concentration of iron(III)ion decreases in the following equilibrium? Fe⁺³ (aq)+ SCN^-1 (aq) Fe(SCN)⁺² (aq)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a reactant is decreased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that produces more of that reactant. 
In this case, the decrease in the concentration of Fe3+ ion will cause the equilibrium to shift to the left to produce more Fe3+ ion. Therefore, the point of equilibrium will shift to the left, indicating a decrease in the amount of Fe(SCN)2+ formed.
