How will Le Chatlier’s Principle be used to?
     a. Cause a color change for an indicator in Part A
     b. Cause an insoluble salt to become more soluble

A. Acid-Base Indicators
There is a large group of chemical substances, called acid-base indicators, which change
color in solution when [H] changes. A typlcal substance indicator like this is called
methyl violet, which we will give the formula HMV. In solution HMV dissociates as
follows:
HMV(aq)
yellow
H(aq) + MV (aq)
violet
(5)
HMV has an intense yellow color, while the anion MV is violet. The color of the
indicator in solution depends very strongly on [H"].
1. Add about 5 mL of distilled water to a regular (18 x 150 mm) test tube. Add 3-5 drops.
of methyl violet indicator. Record the color of the solution in your notebook.
2. How could you force the equilibrium system to go to the other form (color)? Select a
reagent (something that adds H or removes H") that should do this and add it to the
solution, drop by drop, until the color change is complete. Record your observations in
your notebook. If there is no color change, try another until reagent you find one that
does. Work with 6 M reagents if they are available.
.
3. Equilibrium systems are reversible. That is, the reaction can be driven to the left and
right by changing the conditions in the system. How can you force the system in Step 2 to
revert to its original color? Select a reagent that should do this and add it drop by drop
until the color has become the original one. Again, if your first choice was incorrect, try
another reagent. Record everything in your notebook.
4. Answer all the questions for Part A in the data section before going on to Part B.
