Use Le Chȃtelier’s principle to predict the direction of equilibrium shift and the changes that will be observed (color, amount of precipitate, etc.) in the following equilibria when the indicated stress is applied:
a.
The equilibrium mixture is heated.
b.
c.
d.
e.

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