What was the concentration of iron in uncle wilburs runoff


Uncle Wilbur let me watch as he analyzed the iron content of runoff from his banana ranch. A 25.0-mL sample was acidified with nitric acid and treated with excess KSCN to form a red complex. (KSCN itself is colorless.) The solution was then diluted to 100.0 mL and put in a variable-pathlength cell. For comparison, a 10.0-mL reference sample of 6.80 x 10-4 M Fe3+ was treated with HNO3 and KSCN and diluted to 50.0 mL. The reference was placed in a cell with a 1.00-cm light path. The runoff sample exhibited the same absorbance as the reference when the pathlength of the runoff cell ws 2.48 cm. What was the concentration of iron in Uncle Wilbur's runoff?
