Study Notes
Experiment Overview
- Focuses on observing color changes and shifts in equilibrium during reactions.
- Utilizes Le Chatelier’s Principle to predict equilibrium shifts due to external stresses.
Concepts of Chemical Equilibrium
- Defined as a state where forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
- Concentration of reactants remains constant over time.
Le Chatelier’s Principle
- States that a system at equilibrium will adjust to counteract applied stress.
- Stressors can include changes in concentration, temperature, pressure, and volume.
Changes in Concentration
- Increasing reactant concentration shifts equilibrium to the right.
- Increasing product concentration shifts equilibrium to the left.
- Example: In the reaction N2 + 3H2 ↔ 2NH3, adding NH3 shifts equilibrium left.
Changes in Volume and Pressure
- Boyle's Law states pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
- Ideal Gas Law relates pressure to the number of gas moles (PV = nRT).
- Increasing pressure (decreasing volume) favors side with fewer gas moles.
- Decreasing pressure (increasing volume) favors side with more gas moles.
- Example reactions:
- 2PbS + 3O2 ↔ 2PbO + 2SO2 shifts right (3 moles to 2 moles).
- PCl5 ↔ PCl3 + Cl2 shifts left (1 mole to 2 moles).
- H2 + CO2 ↔ H2O + CO has no shift (equal moles).
Changes in Temperature
- Enthalpy change (∆H) indicates heat of the reaction.
- Endothermic Reaction (+∆H): Heat absorbed, shift right with increased temperature.
- Exothermic Reaction (-∆H): Heat released, shift left with increased temperature.
- Example considerations for shifts due to temperature increase or decrease provided.
Effects of Temperature Changes on Specific Reactions
- Increased temperature affects equilibrium, favoring endothermic reactions and decreasing exothermic ones.
- Specific reactions analyzed to predict shifts upon temperature variation.
Adding a Catalyst
- Catalysts lower activation energy for both forward and backward reactions.
- Does not shift equilibrium or affect equilibrium constant (Kc).
Summary of Le Chatelier’s Principle
- Concentration: Yes shift, Kc unchanged.
- Temperature: Yes shift, Kc changed.
- Pressure & Volume: Yes shift (for gases), Kc unchanged.
- Catalyst: No shift, Kc unchanged.
Applications of Le Chatelier’s Principle
- High altitude effects on hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen (O2) equilibrium.
- Haber Process: Key reaction for ammonia synthesis involving nitrogen and hydrogen.
Common Ion Effect in Experiments

- Studies how adding additional reagents affects existing equilibria and precipitate formation through specific equilibrium shifts demonstrated in test tubes.
Test Tubes Color Reaction Dynamics
- Color changes provide visual indicators of equilibrium shifts in controlled environments.
- Experiments outline specific reactions showing how alterations in concentration, common ions, and complex ion formation influence equilibrium conditions.
