Explanation / Answer

(1)Saturated sodium chloride solution :- Saturated solution means dissolution(breakdown of salt into ion) of salt is equal to pricipitation of salt (formation of salt or crystal from ions).

1) Evidence for the shift in eguilibrium:-

Na (aq) + Cl(aq) ------- NaCl (s) (precipitation)

NaCl (s)--------Na (aq) + Cl(aq) (dissolution)

Increase in Na+ and Cl- concentration will increase the precipitation of salt(forward direction) means formation of salt increases and increase in NaCl concentration in case of dissolution also increase dissolution of salt(backward direction) means formation of ions occure . Both these processes are in the dynamic equilibrium so rate of forward and backward reaction is equal.

2) Ion that cause the shift in equilibrium:- According to Le Chatelier's principle increase in reactant concentration will cause equilibrium to shift in the product side and vice versa.By considereing the equilibrium, increase in either Na+ and Cl- will lead to the formaion of salt and equilibrium will shift to the formation direction and increase in NaCl will shift the equilibrium to the backward direction.

3) In which direction the equilibrium will shift :- Equilibrium can shift to any direction by change in the concentration of ions or by adition of other compounds either in the reactants and product direction.

4)Adding NaOH increases the concentration of OH- ion in the solution and this OH- ion combine with the H+ to produce water. This increases the H2O concentration in the product side and will shifts the equilibrium to the backward direction.

5) Results of 6M HCl is diffterent from 12M HCl because of different concentration of ion released from the solution of different concentration. So solution at different concentration have different equilibrium constant means reaction of same compounds at different concentration will attain equilibrium at different concentration.
