Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com Exercise 1 If the ratio of products over reactants has increased, the chemical system will shift to the left, meaning that _____. Q is equal to K Q is greater than K Q is less than K The reaction quotient is calculated using initial concentrations. True False
Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com The forward reaction is endothermic which can be observed through the effects of hot and cold water baths on the solution. The dichromate lies on the right side of the equilibrium as a product that is orange, and the chromate lies on the left side of the equilibrium as a reactant that is yellow. At room temperature, the forward reaction produces a deep orange color in the solution. Placing the solution in ice water decreases the intensity of the orange color, which is consistent with the effect of decreasing temperature in an endothermic reaction. Akin to removing reactant from the left side of the chemical equation, the equilibrium shifts to the left in cold water as more reactants are produced out of the products. As orange dichromate concentration decreases, the color of the solution loses its saturation and the orange lightens up. Furthermore, placing the cold sample into a hot water bath turns the color of the solution into a deeper orange, which is consistent with the effect of increasing temeprature in an endothermic reaction. Similar to adding reactant to the left side of the chemical equation, the equilibrium shifts right in the hot water bath as more product is produced. As the orange dichromate concentration increases, the color of the solution shifts to a deeper orange. Use your results to determine if the forward reaction in the potassium chromate/HCl reaction endothermic or exothermic. Explain your answer, using the table below to help construct your thoughts. Kc = [Cr O ] / [CrO ] [H ] Write the equation for the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction studied in this exercise. 2 7 2- 4 2- 2 + 2
Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com Qc = [NH ] / [N ] [H ] Qc = (1.0 x 10 M) / (4.0 M) (2.5 x 10 M) Qc = 1.6 x 10 Qc < Kc Chemical system will shift right and produce more NH . Consider the chemical reaction: N + 3H yields 2NH . If the concentration of the reactant H was increased from 1.0 x 10 M to 2.5 x 10 M, calculate the reaction quotient (Q) and determine which way the chemical system would shift by comparing the value of Q to K. Use this information to answer Questions 3, 4, and 5: The equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction below is K = 6.0 x 10 , with initial concentrations as follows: [H ] = 1.0 x 10 M, [N ] = 4.0 M, and [NH ] = 1.0 x 10 M. 2 2 3 2 -2 -1 -2 2 -2 2 3 -4 3 2 2 2 3 -4 2 -1 3 -7 3 Qc = [NH ] / [N ] [H ] Qc = (1.0 x 10 M) / (4.0 M) (2.7 x 10 M) Qc = 127 Qc > Kc Chemical system will shift left and produce more N and H . If the concentration of the reactant H was decreased from 1.0 x 10 M to 2.7 x 10 M, calculate the reaction quotient (Q) and determine which way the chemical system would shift by comparing the value of Q to K. 2 -2 -4 3 2 2 2 3 -4 2 -4 3 2 2

Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com Exercise 2 Reaction at Room Temperature Reaction in Cold Water Bath Reaction in Hot Water Bath Color Chemical System Shift (Left or Right) Explanation of why chemical system is shifted to the left or to the right Deeper orange Bright orange Deeper orange Left Right The dichromate lies on the right side of the equilibrium as a product, and the chromate lies on the left side of the equilibrium as a reactant that is yellow. Decreasing the temperature in an endothermic reaction is akin to removing reactants from the left side of the chemical equation, which shifts the equilibrium to the left as more reactants are produced. This lowers the concentration of product on the right side of the equilibrium, lowering the intensity of the orange color as more reactants are in the solution. The dichromate lies on the right side of the equilibrium as a product. Increasing temperature in an endothermic reaction is akin to increasing reactants in the equation. This increase in reactants shifts the equilibrium to the right as more product is produced which turns the color of the solution a deeper orange. Based on my observations, the addition of NaOH shifts the equilibrium to the left to produce more reactants. This can be inferred by the fact that upon adding NaOH to the potassium ferrocyanide and iron(III) nitrate, the color goes from dark blue to light yellow color, nearly the same color as the pure potassium ferrocyanide. Going towards the color of the reactant shows that product was used up and reactants are reformed. From your observations and data collected in Data Table 3, describe the direction of the equilibrium position shift upon addition of NaOH.

Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com To predict which direction a reaction will move to reach equilibrium, investigate the _____. equilibrium constant equilibrium position reaction quotient If Q is less than K, the ratio of products over reactants has _____, and the chemical system will shift to the _____. increased; right increased; left decreased; left decreased; right The equilibrium position of a reaction requires certain environmental variables to remain constant. These variables are _____. pressure, temperature, and concentration temperature and concentration pressure, temperature, and time None of the above. According to Le Châtelier’s Principle, an increase in the concentration of product will shift the chemical system to _____. the right the left neither the right nor left
Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com Extension Questions Le Châtelier’s Principle states that _____. when a change (pressure, temperature, concentration) is imposed on a chemical system (chemical reaction), the chemical system will shift in the direction that reduces the total effect of change, finding a new chemical equilibrium where free energy exists at the lowest possible value when a change (pressure, temperature, time) is imposed on a chemical system (chemical reaction), the chemical system will shift in the direction that reduces the total effect of change, finding a new chemical equilibrium where free energy exists at the highest possible value when a change (pressure, temperature, concentration) is imposed on a chemical system (chemical reaction), the chemical system will shift in the direction that increases the total effect of change, finding a new chemical equilibrium where free energy exists at the lowest possible value The chemical reaction of chromate and dichromate is indicated by a _____. change in the state of matter color change temperature change Generally, if the value of K is greater than 1, we say that the reaction favors the products. This makes sense mathematically because the _____ go in the numerator of the equation. products reactants concentrations Consider the reaction . If the concentration of the product NH decreased, which way would the chemical system shift? 3 Left Right It would not shift.
Copyright 2024 - Science Interactive | https://scienceinteractive.com This is an exothermic reaction since its enthalpy is a negative value. That means that increasing temperature is akin to increasing the amount of products in the reaction. Increasing products will shift the equilibrium to the left to produce more C2H2. There are 3 moles of reactants to 1 mole of product. Decreasing the pressure will cause the equlibrium to shift toward the reactants and produce more C2H2. Increasing volume also accomplishes this since higher volume means lower pressure. Removing C2H2 or H2 as it is being produced will reduce the concentration of reactants which will prompt the equilibrium to shift left ot produce more C2H2. Assume that you are in charge of a designing a process to produce acetylene (C H ) from ethane (C H ), which is the reverse of the reaction shown above. Use your knowledge of equilibrium to suggest a set of conditions that would maximize the concentration of acetylene (C H ) at equilibrium. Assume that it is possible to add or remove any of the three components of this system and to change the general conditions of the reaction (pressure, temperature, volume). Use your knowledge of equilibrium to suggest a set of conditions that would maximize the concentration of acetylene (C H ) at equilibrium. 2 2 2 6 2 2 2 2
