**Equilibrium and Reaction Shifts****2.) Suppose we have a solution PbI₂ and it is clear.**\[ \text{PbI}_2(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{I}^-(aq) \]**2.a) If you add Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) to the solution, what direction does the reaction shift to (the left, right, or no shift in the reaction)?****2.b) What does addition of KBr(aq) shift the equilibrium towards (the left, right, or no shift in the reaction)?**### Explanation:The equilibrium expression shows the dissociation of lead(II) iodide (\( \text{PbI}_2 \)) in aqueous solution to form lead ions (\( \text{Pb}^{2+} \)) and iodide ions (\( \text{I}^- \)).- **Part 2.a:** Adding \( \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2 \), which contains \( \text{Pb}^{2+} \) ions, increases the concentration of \( \text{Pb}^{2+} \) in the solution. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the reaction will shift to the left to counter the increase in product concentration by forming more solid PbI₂.- **Part 2.b:** Adding \( \text{KBr} \), which may precipitate other ions (e.g., by forming insoluble compounds with \( \text{Pb}^{2+} \)), may not directly affect the defined equilibrium unless it changes ion concentrations involved in the dissolution of PbI₂. In this context, adding a compound not containing shared ions would more likely cause no shift in the dissolution equilibrium of PbI₂.

I need help calculating the equilibrium constant using this data
We have a solution which is 0.332 M in A(aq) and 0.605 M in B(aq). There are no other solutes initially. The reaction 2 A(aq) + B(aq) <---> 2 C(aq) + D(aq) occurs. At equilibrium, the concentration of C(aq) is 0.140 M. What is the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction?

Indicate the equilibrium shift, left or right, when the accompanying stress is applied to the system. Explain the reason for the shift. 1) NH3(aq) is added to Ag+(aq) + Cl- (aq)----- AgCl (s) 2) HNO3(aq) is added to Ag2CO3(s)--- Ag+(aq)+ CO32-(aq) 3) KI(aq) is added to Ag+(aq)+2NH3(aq)---[Ag(NH3)2] +(aq)
You are working in the lab and your TA gives you a yellow colored solution at equilibrium. The solution contains unknown concentrations of the chemicals in the reaction below. You then add 6.00 ml of 3 M sodium hydroxide to the solution. Predict what your observation would be and select the explanation as to why this would occur. Cro,2 (aq) + H3O*(aq) Cr2O,7 (aq) + H20() yellow orange O The solution turns orange because addition of sodium hydroxide decreases the H+ concentration, thereby decreasing the pH of the solution, causing the reaction to shift toward products. O The solution turns orange because increased base concentration increases the negative charge of the solution, causing the reaction to shift toward reactants. The solution stays yellow because the addition of sodium hydroxide decreases H30+ concentration in the solution, thereby causing the pH to increase, causing the reaction to shift toward the reactants O The solution turns orange because the concentration of…
