Question

1. A saturated solution of NaCl is treated with concentrated HCl. When NaCl is dissolved in water, the following equilibrium system is established: NaCl(s) ? Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) The white precipitate formed is crystallized NaCl 1. In which direction (forward or reverse) does the addition HCl push the equilibrium system? 2. Which ion is responsible for this effect?

Step 1

When we add concentrated HCl to the saturated NaCl solution, we are essentially increasing the concentration of Cl⁻ ions in the solution. According to Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that counteracts this change. In this case, Show more…

A saturated solution of NaCl is treated with concentrated HCl. When NaCl is dissolved in water, the following equilibrium system is established: NaCl(s) ⇌ Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) The white precipitate formed is crystallized NaCl. 1. In which direction (forward or reverse) does the addition of HCl push the equilibrium system? 2. Which ion is responsible for this effect?
