Condider the equilibrium:
2H^+1 (aq) + 2CrO4^-2 (aq) ---> H2O + Cr2O7^-2 (aq)
What directino would the equilibrium shift in the following
cases?
The [H^+1] is increased.
The [H2O] is increased.
The [H20] is decreased.
More NaOH is added (uses up H^+).
1)
we are adding a reactant
According to Le Chatelier's Principle,
Adding reactant will shift reaction towards product side
Answer: Equilibrium moves to product side
2)
Adding solid or liquid doesn't affect equilibrium
Answer: No effect on equilibrium
3)
Removing solid or liquid doesn't affect equilibrium
Answer: No effect on equilibrium
4)
we are removing a reactant as OH- will consume H+
According to Le Chatelier's Principle,
Removing reactant will shift reaction towards reactant side
Answer: Equilibrium moves to reactant side
