Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The direction of the equilibrium shift and the change that will be observed (color, amount of precipitate, etc.) in the given equilibria when the indicated stress is applied is to be predicted using the Le Chȃtelier’s principle.

Concept introduction:

The equilibrium constant is a parameter which describes the relationship between concentration of the reactants and the products at equilibrium stage. Equilibrium constant of a reaction is expressed by the ratio of concentration of product species raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients to the concentration of reactant species raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

Answer to Problem 8.53E

The shift in the equilibrium will be towards the right direction and blue color will be observed due to the formation of cobalt complex.

Explanation of Solution

According to the Le Chȃtelier’s principle the change in concentration, volume, pressure and temperature affects the equilibrium of the reaction.

The given equilibrium reaction is shown below.

heat+Co2+(aq)+4Cl(aq)CoCl4(aq)pinkcolorlessblue

It is considered that when reaction mixture is heated, the temperature on the left hand side increases. Hence, according to the Le Chȃtelier’s principle, the equilibrium will shift towards right direction to compensate the increase in temperature. Thus, blue color will be observed due to the formation of cobalt complex.

Conclusion

The shift in the equilibrium will be towards the right direction and blue color will be observed due to the formation of cobalt complex.

Hence, according to the Le Chȃtelier’s principle, the equilibrium will shift towards right direction to compensate the increased amount of Co2+. Thus, blue color will be observed due to the formation of cobalt complex.

Conclusion

The shift in the equilibrium will be towards the right direction and blue color will be observed due to the formation of cobalt complex.

The shift in the equilibrium will be towards the right direction and red color will be observed due to the formation of iron complex.

Explanation of Solution

According to the Le Chȃtelier’s principle the change in concentration, volume, pressure and temperature affects the equilibrium of the reaction.

It is considered that when SCN is added to the equilibrium mixture, the amount of SCN on the left hand side increases. Hence, according to the Le Chȃtelier’s principle, the equilibrium will shift towards right direction to compensate the increased amount of SCN. Thus, red color will be observed due to the formation of iron complex.

Conclusion

The shift in the equilibrium will be towards the right direction and red color will be observed due to the formation of iron complex.

What happens to the pH of the system if more CuOH+ is added after reaching equilibrium? The pH of the system will not change because of the small size of K. The pH of the system will increase because of the increased concentration of CuOH+. The pH of the system will increase as the reverse reaction proceeds at a faster rate to reestablish equilibrium. The pH of the system will decrease as the forward reaction proceeds at a faster rate to reestablish equilibrium.
