Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 74SCQ
The chapter opening photograph (page 670) showed how the cobalt(II) chloride equilibrium responded to temperature changes.
- (a) Look back at that photograph. Is the conversion of the red cation to the blue anion exothermic or endothermic?
- (b) If hydrochloric acid is added to the violet mixture of cobalt(II) ions shown below, the blue CoCl42− ion is favored. If water is then added to the mixture, a red solution favoring [Co(H2O)]2+ results. Explain these observations in terms of Le Chatelier’s principle.
- (c) How do these observations prove the reaction is reversible?

When two solutions, one of 0.1 M KCl (I) and the other of 0.1 M MCl (II), are brought into contact by a membrane. The cation M cannot cross the membrane. At equilibrium, x moles of K+ will have passed from solution (I) to (II). To maintain the neutrality of the two solutions, x moles of Cl- will also have to pass from I to II. Explain this equality: (0.1 - x)/x = (0.1 + x)/(0.1 - x)
