Question

Questions 44 and 45 are based on the following description. The questions below refer to the following system: (pink) (blue) When cobalt(II) chloride is added to pure water, the Co ions hydrate. The hydrated form then reacts with the Cl- ions to set up the equilibrium shown here. 44. Which statement below describes the change that the system will undergo if water is added? A) More chloride ions will be produced. B) More water will be produced. C) The equilibrium will shift to the right. D) The color will become more blue. E) There will be less of the hydrated cobalt ion at the new equilibrium position. -45. Which statement below describes the change that the system will undergo if silver nitrate is added? A) It should become more blue B) It should become more pink. C) Water will be produced. D) The silver ion will react with the CoCla2- E) Nothing will change.

Explanation / Answer

44. If water is added to the equilibrium reaction, more chloride ions will be produced

45.

if Silver nitrate is added tot he system, there is no change in the equilibrium, because no common ions present.
