Question
Co(H2O)62+(aq) + 4 Cl–(aq)⇄CoCl42–(aq) + 6 H2O
What happens to the equilibrium using Le Chateliers principle when DI water is added to this? What about when silver nitrate was added? Any precipitate formed? If so, what is the precipitate?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Reaction

Co(H2O)6(aq.) + 4 Cl(aq.)⇄CoCl42–(aq.) + 6 H2O

What happens to equilibrium  using Le Chatelier's principle 

Case 1:  When DI water is Added 

Case 2 : When Silver Nitrate was Added.

Precipitate Formed when Silver Nitrate was added = To be determined

Le Chatelier's principle in chemistry is used to study the effect of Concentration, temperature and pressure on Equilibrium of a reaction
