Explanation / Answer
Consider the equilibrium NH3 (aq) +H2O -> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq). Predict the direction the equilibrium will shift and explain why when
a. Solid NH4Cl is added
NH4Cl results NH4^+ ions so the equilibrium shifts left side
b. HCl is added
HCl results H+ ions
H+ ion reacts with OH- to give water so that OH- ions decreases which leads to shifts in equilibrium towards right side
