Using equation 5 (page 38), interpret your observations in terms of Le Châtelier's principle when you placed the test tube containing the pink solution in a hot water bath. PART D-The Equilibria of Saturated Solutions

Explanation / Answer

the shifts in reaction can be understood using Le Chatelier's principle which states that any change at equilibrium will make system readjust so as to counter the effect of changes and in the process a new equilibrium state is reached

in test tube 1 : on addition, the concentrations of components on right hand side increases therefore to restore equilibrium reaction shifts backwards

in test tube 2": heat is added, since the reaction is exothermic , on addition of any further heat will push the system to backward direction

test tube 2 , ice bath: on putting test tube in an ice bth, temperatures will comedown therefore more heat is required to restore system, and since it is exothermic reaction, reaction will move in forward direction

test tube 3: on addition of AgNO3 , AgCl will precipitate , thereforem more chloride ion will get consumed and hence reaction wil move in forward direction
