Consider the following equation: [Ni(H2O)6]2+ + 6NH3 <----> [Ni(NH3)6]2+ +6H2O The effects of stress on this equilibrium can be monitored by changes in color. An equilibrium mixture is blue-green (indicating both products and reactants are present).  a.) When the equilibrium mixture is heated, the color changes to bright green. Which direction has the reaction shifted? To the products, the reactants, or no shift? How did you determine this? Which is the exothermic direction of this reaction? Forward, reverse, or cannot tell? b.) When a few drops of concentrated NH3 are added to the equilibrium mixture, the solution turns deep blue. Which direction has the reaction shifted? To the products, the reactants, or no shift? How did you determine this? c.) Addition of concentrated HNO3 to the blue-green mixture will remove NH3 by reaction. What should happen to the color of the solution? Will it turn more blue, turn more green, or no change? Explain.
When orange solution containing Cr2O72–ion is treated with an alkali, a yellow solution is formed and when H+ions are added to yellow solution, an orange solution is obtained. Explain why does this happen?
The following oxidation-reduction reactions take place in basic medium. For each reaction, (i) Assign oxidation state for each atom in the equation; (ii) Indicate oxidation half-equation and reduction half-equation; (iii) Balance the equation by half-equation method; (iv) Indicate which reactant is oxidizing agent and which reducing agent. (v) State and verify whether the pH of the medium decreases, increases, or remains constant as the reaction proceeds.
