Here is a the first question from your lab. I will give you a good answer
so that you understand the level of detail that is required in the response
1.

Explain the colour changes observed when Fe(NO3)3, KSCN, and

NaOH were added to the thiocyanatoiron equilibrium system.
Start by writing the equilibrium equation.
Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq)
yellow

Fe(SCN)2+(aq)
brown

Adding Fe(NO3)3 increases the [Fe3+] and causes the reaction to shift
right and turn brown.
Adding KSCN increases the [SCN-] and causes the reaction to shift
right and turn brown.
Adding NaOH increases the [OH-] which reacts with Fe3+, lowering the
[Fe3+] causing the equilibrium to shift left and turn yellow.
