Applications of Le Châtelier’s Principle (September 11 - 15‚ 2014) **The purpose of this experiment was to visually observe the effects of how changing certain aspects of the reaction affected the observed equilibrium. PROCEDURE: Introductory activity Part A: Effect of Concentration: Two different temperature water baths were created‚ one at 65-70oC‚ the other ice‚ and set aside for Part B. 20 mL of potassium thiocyanate solution were poured into a petri dish. The initial color and all subsequent

● Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate CoCl2.6H2O‚ was weighed in a weighing boat. The Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate was transferred into a 100mL volumetric flask dissolved in water. ● 25 mL of the dissolved was measured‚ using a graduated cylinder and few of the dissolved Cobalt (II) Chloride Hexahydrate‚ was poured into test tube. The test tube was labeled with a tape‚ to signify 25 mL and the spectrophotometer was used to record the U-V visible ABS (absorbance spectrum) with the wavelength of 515

Chemical Equilibrium: Le Châtelier’s Principle Abstract This experiment entitled "Chemical Equilibrium" aims to help students to investigate the effects of concentration and temperature upon the position of equilibrium in a cobalt chloride solution‚ Co(H2O)62+. In this experiment‚ cobalt crystal is dissolved with distilled water and ethanol which the initial colour is purple-pinkish and a few drops of concentration of HCl is added to the test tube‚ the final colour is in deep blue colour.

Le Châtelier’s principle states that The system will have one reaction dominate until the offsetting changes allow the rates of the forward and reverse reactions to be equal again (reestablishing equilibrium). If the forward reaction dominates in order to offset the changes‚ we say the system “shifts to the right” or “shifts toward products” in order to reestablish equilibrium conditions. This will increase the concentration of the products and decrease the concentration of the reactants. However

LE CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE Castro‚ Lharize C. Experiment # 1 I. Introduction: In this experiment‚ using Le Chatelier’s principle‚ we will observe several responses of a system at equilibrium to various changes in external conditions. The experiment aims to investigate two equilibrium systems: (a) cobalt complexes and (b) chromate-dichromate equilibrium and explain observations in light of the Le Chatelier’s principle. II. Theory/Concepts: In 1884 the French chemist and engineer Henry-Louis

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to develop a deeper understanding of LeChatelier’s Principle by observing several systems at chemical equilibrium and interpreting the effects of varying concentrations and temperature. The principle states that if systems at equilibria are altered or disturbed in any form‚ the equilibria will shift to reduce the disturbing influence ( Catalyst‚ 186). In a 3 part experiment‚ we analyzed the outcome of changes in reactant and product concentrations‚ equilibrium

Lab 4: Le Chatelier’s Principle Name: Cammey Mahowald Lab Partners: None Date of Experiment: March 16‚ 2015 Course: CHE 112 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to understand the components of a reaction at chemical equilibrium and use Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the direction an equilibrium position will shift upon changes in the concentration‚ temperature‚ and pressure. It was determined that in the equilibrium of chromate and dichromate it is an exothermic reaction and in the

Lab # 25 2/15/12 Le Chatelier’s Principle Lab Purpose: To discover the effects of Le Chaterlier’s principle. Description: Chemical reactions can take place both forwards and backwards. When a reaction reacts to form products‚ some of the products react to form the reactants. In a chemical reaction‚ when the rate of a forward reaction equals the rate of a backward reaction‚ it is at equilibrium‚ where the products and reactants stay constant. If there is a change in condition on either reactants

In the experiment‚ we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution‚ control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control‚ water. During the first trial and prior to the drops

“Le Chatelier’s Principle” Mihir Patel‚ Mississippi State University 2015 In 1884‚ a French chemist Henry-Louis Le Chatelier‚ “proposed one the central concepts of chemical equilibria.1” Henry was best known for his principle‚ properly name Le Chatelier’s principle. The principle allows one to “predict the change of conditions will have on a chemical reaction.3” His finding of this principle came from his early work in the experimental study of thermodynamics.3 Le Chatelier’s principle states
