Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of a change on a system at an equilibrium. I will learn how temperature and pressure affects a chemical reaction. During this experiment, I will observe the physicals changes when the solutions are mixed and determine the shift of the equilibrium. I think the only reaction I will have will be color change, when the different solutions are added together. Experiment: For this experiment, I added two chemicals K2CrO4 and HCl together which created an orange color. Then I added NaOH to revert the reaction, which changed the color of the solution back to yellow. I repeated the same procedure but didn’t add the NaOH the second time but added the solution to cold water then hot water for three minutes and observed the reaction. I did the same thing for K4Fe(CN)6 and Fe(NO3)3 except when I mixed them together it produced a dark blue with dark specks solution. I then added NaOH to revert back to the original solution but I got a yellow color with brown specks instead.
