Question

(Equation 1) NH4Cl(s)(arrows)NH4(aq)+Cl(aq)

-Rewrite equation 1 to include heat as a reactant or a product

-Write the mass action expression for the equation 1 equilibrium (K=)

-Write a chemical equation for the saturated solution of calcium chloride. Use equation 1 as a model, include heat in the equation.

-Write the mass action expression for this solution of calcium chloride

-Will the addition of sodium chloride cause the formation of more solid or more aqueous calcium chloride? Explain in terms of stressors and shifting equilibrium.

Explanation / Answer

1)

NH4Cl(s) + Heat ---> NH4(aq)+Cl(aq)

It required heat, it is endothermic process

2)

K = [NH4+][Cl-]/[NH4Cl] =  [NH4+][Cl-]

since all solid have activity = 1

3)

CaCl2 + Heat < ---> Ca+2 and 2Cl- (saturation/equilibrium)

4)

Adding NaCl will super saturate Cl- in solution, threfore, CaCl2 might be expected to precipitate as a solid.

The equilibrium is shifted to the reactants (solids)
