Lab 4-Le Chatlier's principle Flashcards
Le Chatlier’s principle
Is a simple guideline to help predict the effect of conditional changes on chemical equilibrium, the direction of the shift. Qualitative
Equilibrium experiencing a change
The equilibrium of the system would adjust to minimize the effects of the change.
Conditional changes examples
Pressure, temperature, concentration
Equilibrium
Dynamic. Is reacting from products to reactants at the same rate as reactants to products. Reactions naturally reach this phase
Increase a reactants concentration
Would result in more products being made, and therefore a shift right
Decrease a reactants concentration
Would result in more products reacting to become reactants, which would be a shift left
Increased pressure
A shift right as more reactants would be bumping into each other and forming products
Haber process
Is when a reaction proceeds left to right, it is exothermic
Increased temperature
Would result in a shift left as the system tries to accommodate the extra heat is N+H—NH3+ Heat
Visual transition interval
The pH range an indicator changes color in
Bromothymol blue visual transition interval
6.0(yellow)-7.6(blue)
Fe3+ and SCN-
Two colorless components that combine to form a molecule red in color
Reactions with Fe
The darker the red color the more of a shift right has occured
