1. What is the “common ion” that you added to test tubes #2–5?

2. How (in what direction does the equilibrium shift) does the common ion affect the equilibrium reaction as the amount of NaCl solution increases from 1–4 mL?

3. Based on the color, in which direction does the equilibrium shift? Indicate the color of the solution and in which direction the equilibrium shifts, toward Reactants or Products?

4. Write a balanced equation showing what happens when AgNO3 is added and explain why the equilibrium shifts. Explain. Do not simply state in which direction. Stating that the addition of a substance or chemical causes a stress on the equilibrium is not sufficient and will be marked as incorrect.

5. Explain the equilibrium shift that occurs when water is added to the original equilibrium reaction. Explain. Do not simply state in which direction. Stating that the addition of a substance or chemical causes a stress on the equilibrium is not sufficient and will be marked as incorrect.

6. Write “heat” on either the left or right side of this equation, based upon observations from the addition and removal of heat in steps 3 and 4, respectively, and the corresponding shifts in equilibrium.

Blue Green
7. Given the equilibrium equation for a general reaction, A + B D C + D, explain what happens to the reactants and products from time 0 until the time at which the reaction reaches equilibrium.

8. Given this reaction at equilibrium, C(s) + CO2(g) D 2CO(g) (∆H° = 119kJ), explain the changes that would occur when the following stresses are applied or removed for this reaction. Answer by indicating if the reaction shifts towards the Reactants/Left or the Products/Right and explain why. Answers without the explanation portion will be incorrect. Explain. Do not simply state in which direction. Stating that the addition of a substance or chemical causes a stress on the equilibrium is not sufficient and will be marked as incorrect.
