Le Chatelier’s Principle

  1. Define the following terms:
    a. Chemical equilibrium
    b. Le Chatelier’s principle
  2. Write chemical equations that describe the three equilibria that you will observe during this experiment.
  3. Consider the hypothetical exothermic equilibrium reaction:
    A + B ↔ C + D + heat
    Which direction will the equilibrium shift under each of the following conditions:
    a. Either A or B is added to the equilibrium system: _
    b. Either A or B is removed from the equilibrium system: _

    c. Either C or D is added to the equilibrium system: _
    d. The equilibrium system is heated: _

    e. The equilibrium system is cooled: __
  4. What safety precautions need to be observed during this experiment?
