LECTURER’S NAME : DR AMALINA MOHD TAJUDDIN
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effects to equillibrium system when certain stresses are introdced.

INTRODUCTION
A products react at the same rate as they produced at equillibrium conditions. While in
the equillibrium conditions, the concentration of the substance d not change but for both
reaction forward and reversed. The arrow ‘ ⇌ ‘ used to denote the equillibrium system.
The Le Chatelier’s Principle stated that in when the equillibrium conditions change, the
system reacts to counteract the change and reestablished the equillibrium.

Example :
A+ B ⇌C + D
if the concentration of B increased, the rate of thr forward reaction increased,
concentration of A decreased and concentration of C and D increase and after a period
of time, the rates will become equal and the system will be in the equilibrium again. The
statement shows the how equilibrium shift when concebtration of A, B, C, and D
changed:

The increasing of concentration A or b, the equillibrium shift to right.


If the concentration of C or D increased, equillibrium shift to the left.
If the concentration of A or B decreased, equillibrium will change to left
If concentration of C or D decreased, equllibrium change to the right.

as control test tube.
2. 3 ml of hydrochloric acid added into test tube 2 until the original colour observed
3. Half of the spatula solid ammonium chloride added into test tube 3 to make a
satureted salt solution.
4. Test tube 1 and test tube 3 then placed into a beaker of boiling tube and the
change is observed.
5. Cool the test tube sing a tap ater until original control.

D: Ammonia solution.
1. An ammonia stock solution is prepared by adding 5 drop of 6 M hydroxide and 3
drop of phenophtalein to 50 ml of tap water. The 5 ml of the stock added into 3
test tube.
2. Test tube 1 act as control test tube. In test tube 2, a solid ammonium added in
test tube 2.
3. In test tube 3, a few drop of 6 M hydrochloric acid added into test tube 3.

QUESTIONS
PART A AND PART D
How would you explain the shift of equillibrium in term of Le Chantelier’s Princple?
Answer: in Le’ Chantelier Principle, the preasure increase the shift of an equillibrium to
the side of the reaction which have fewer number of moles. If the pressure decreased, it
shift to the side of the reaction which have greater nuber of moles. While if theres no
effect in pressure if the moles are same on both side of reaction,

PART B
1. Explain how adding more NH3 caused the equillibrium to shift again
Answer : The light blue solution turns to cloudy blue solution when ammonia
solution added into it. This is because the amount of reactant cause the
equillibrium to shift again in order to balanced the reaction.

2. Explain how 3 M sulfuric caused the equillibrium to shift again?


Answer: The addition of 3 M sulfuric acid will increase the concentration of the
solution. So that it will make the equillibrium to shift to the right.

PART C
1. State whether the concentration of each of the substance was
increased,decreased or unaffected when the concentrated hydrochloric acid was
added to cobalt chloride solution.
Answer: Co(H20)62+ = decreasing. Cl = increases . CoCl2 = unaffected

2. Explain why heating and cooling the mixture caused the equillibrium to shift?
Answer: The change in temperature in an equillibrium system will stimulatea change
in the equilibrium. The adding of temperature will adding more reactant in the
system. While decreasing the temperature it will removing the reactant.
DISCUSSION
The equillibrium can affected if theres any change in pressure, concentration,
temperature and addition of catalyst.
The temperature can effect the equillibrium system because when the temperature
increases, the system will K for a system with a positive ∆ H ° rxn. While when the
temperature decrease, K will decrease with negative ∆ H ° rxn.
The concentration of reactant can affect the equillibrium system because it will alter the
rate of the forward reaction while if thereas any change in the cocentration of product, it
will alter the rate of the reverse reaction.
The effect of catalyst in make the reaction much faster and system will reach
equillibrium more quickly.
While the effect of preassure and volume can alter the equillibrium position of a system
but if only the reaction involve gases.
In experiment, the solution change its colour because theres addition of moles of ther
reactant in the solution. For example, in experiment part A, the light brown solution turns
to dark-red after the pottasium thiocyanate solution added into the test tube with stock
solution ( 0.1 M Iron(III) pottasium and 0.1 M pottasium thiocyanate.)
This due to the addition of moles in the solution so that the equillibrium shift to the right
to stabilized again the system.
In experiment Part B, the light blue solution turns cloudy solution when ammonium
solution added into the test tube 2, while if the ammonium is continued added into it, it
form a blue precipitate and turns to original colour when the sulfuric acid added into the
same test tube.
In part C, the original colour of the solution is light pink. When the HCl added into it, it
turns to the solution with more light pink than the original solution. It shows that the
equllibrium system shift to the right to stabilized again the system. While if the
ammonium solution added ito the original solution, it turn purple because of addition of
reactant.
CONCLUSION
 The equillibrium system will shift if theres any change in
temperature,concentration,pressure and addition of catalyst.
 Only temperature can vhange the K
 Change in pressure may alter the equillibrium position but only theres gases
involve.
 The change in concentration reactant will produce forward reaction while
change in concentration of product alter rate of reverse reaction.
 The catalyst only works to improve the rate of reaction and did not change the
K and equillibrium constant.
