CdC2O4(s) + 4 NH3 (aq) Cd(NH3)4+2 (aq)-C204-2(aq) Note: C2o2(aq) is the oxalate

Question

CdC2O4(s) + 4 NH3 (aq) Cd(NH3)4+2 (aq)-C204-2(aq) Note: C2o2(aq) is the oxalate ion 1. If solid CdC204(s) is added, the equilibrium will a. shift toward the reactants b. shift toward the products c. not shift at all d. produce some of the solid. 2. If NH3(aq) is added the equilibrium will a. shift toward the reactants b. shift toward the products c. not shift at all d. cause some solid to be formed 3. List a solution (that does not contain oxalate ion) which when added will cause th equilibrium to shift to the left to form some solid CdC204. Explain how your choice causes CdC204 to be formed

Explanation / Answer

Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions,the position of the equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish an equilibrium.

Increasing the concentrations of reactants will drive the reaction to right or to product side.

1)If solid CdC2O4 is added the equilibrium will shift toward the products.

2)If NH3(aq) is added the equilibrium will shift toward the products.

3)If we add Cd(NH3)4+2 solution then the equilibrium will shift to the left to form some solid CdC2O4 .Because according to Le Chatelier's principle increasing the concentration of products will drive the reaction to the left.
