Question
Consider a saturated aqueous solution of chromium (III) hydroxide, Cr(OH)3(s)?Cr3+(aq)+3OH?(aq) How will each of the following changes affect an equilibrium mixture?
Part C Additional solid chromium (II) hydroxide is added to the saturated solution of chromium (Il) hydroxide. shift equilibrium toward the reactants shift equilibrium toward the products O no affect Submit My Answers Give Up Part D 5 mL of 12 M HCI (aq) is added to the saturated solution of chromium (Il) hydroxide. shift equilibrium toward the reactants shift equilibrium toward the products O no affect Submit My Answers Give UpExplanation / Answer
C) we know that
solids does not affect the equilibrium
So
adding solid Cr(OH)3 has no affect on the equilibrium
D)
now
HCl is added
HCl--> H+ + Cl-
now
these H+ removes OH- from the equilibrium by the equation
H+ + OH- --> H20
so
by adding HCl , OH- are removed
now
according to Le Chatlier principle
the equilibrium will shift in a direction to counter the change
in this case
conc of OH- ions is decreasing ,
So to increase the conc of OH- ions,
the equilibrium will shift towards the products
