2. Identify the chemical species present in the solution poured into the beaker 
  on the right in the movie. 
The solution on the left is labeled KSCN solution. KSCN is the formula of 
  an ionic substance. The solution appears clear and colorless. Since KSCN is 
  ionic the solution contains the corresponding ions; K+ and SCN-.
This solution contributes the SCN- in the chemical equation above.
