Demo Lab: Equilibrium Shifts



Demonstration Labs: Equilibrium Shifts

Here is the reaction:
CoCl42- (aq) +6 H2O (l) « Co(H2O)62+ (aq) + 4Cl- (aq)
          blue                     violet                             pink
At the moment the reaction is at equilibrium.

1. Write the equation and label the reactants and the products.
2. Make predictions about what color you think will appear when Ms. Cotta adds a stress to the system.


Add HCl
Add Ag(NO3)
Add CaCl2
Add acetone
Add H2O
Heat
Ice bath
Predict:







Actual:








3. When we added CaCl2, what happened to the color? Which way was the reaction moving forward (to the products) or reverse (to the reactants)? Explain why.

4. Then explain the same each for HCl, Ag(NO3), acetone, H2O. 

5. When we added heat, what happened to the color? Which way was the reaction moving forward or reverse? Explain why.

6. So does this mean the reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Examine the direction it shifted when heat was added.

1. When the plunger of the syringe was pulled out what did that do to the volume and pressure in the syringe? What direction did the equation shift to the reactants or the products? Show why with a drawing of a balance and the reaction and label what changed in the equation.
2. When the plunger was pushed in what effect did it have on the volume and pressure in the syringe? What direction did the equation shift to the reactants or the products? Show why with a drawing of a balance and label what changed in the equation.
