Fe+3(aq) + SCN-(aq) ↔ FeSCN+2(aq)
The reaction starts with 6.0mL of 0.0040M Fe(NO3)3 and 4.0 mL of 0.0030M
KSCN.
 Using a colorimeter you test the absorbance of FeSCN+2 at equilibrium = 0.318.
 A “standard” is measured, which has a concentration of 0.0006M and absorbance of
0.802.
1. What is the initial concentration all chemicals in the test tube?(Hint: M1V1….)
2. What is the concentration of FeSCN+2 at equilibrium? (Hint: Beer’s Law)
3. Calculate the concentrations of Fe+3 & SCN- at equilibrium. (Hint: IceBox)
4. Calculate the Keq for this reaction.
(Hint: Write equilibrium expression and plug it in)

Le Châtelier’s Principle
Can we predict the effects of concentration, pressure,
volume, and temperature on a system at equilibrium?
(More importantly: can we manipulate a chemical reaction
to make more product and thus more $$$$$)?
Le Châtelier’s Principle
Human blood has a certain pH.When people exercise
they products a lot of carbon dioxide, which in turn
builds up carbonic acid in their bodies. Carbonic acid
alters the pH of the blood, which puts stress on the
body. How does the body return to a healthy
equilibrium?
Le Châtelier’s Principle
If you change the conditions of a reaction to affect the
equilibrium of a system, then reaction shifts in a direction that
reduces the effect of that change
Stress Reaction = Reaction Shifts to Relieve Stress.
 You can change:

◦ Concentration
◦ Temperature
◦ Pressure/Volume
ADD  AWAY

Exploring Equilibrium & Le Châtelier’s Principle
Grab one computer for you and a partner (1 per
partnership)
 Log in to the computer
 Read along as I read aloud!

Le Châtelier’s “Mini-Lab”
Questions to think about:
What happens if you increase the concentration of reactants?
What happens if you increase the concentration of products?
What happens when you increase the temperature?
What happens when you decrease the temperature?
Work with your partner to complete Trials 1-6
 Process the data that you recorded by completing the
“conclusion” on the back
 We will review, by taking notes

Le Châtelier’s: Change in Concentration (1-2)
Adding more reactant will increase rate of forward
reaction because more collisions are occurring, forming
more product.
 After additional reactant is added, the system will return
to equilibrium after enough time
 What would happen if you took away reactant instead?

◦ Reaction shifts left to replace the reactants that were taken
away!
◦ Giving the products more room to hit each other and form
more reactants!
Le Châtelier’s: Change in Concentration (3-4)
Adding more product will increase rate of the reverse
reaction because more collisions are occurring, forming
more reactant.
 After additional product is added, the system will return
to equilibrium after enough time
 What would happen if you took away product instead?

◦ Reaction shifts right to replace the products that were taken
away!
◦ Giving the reactants more room to hit each other and form
more products!
Change in Temperature (5)
Endothermic reactions:
treat heat as a reactant
N2(g) + O2(g) + heat ↔ 2NO(g)
 Adding heat will cause
formation of more
product.
 Shifts in the direction that
consumes energy (increase
in potential energy)

Change in Temperature (6)
Change in T can change the
Keq of a reaction (unlike
change in [ ], P,V)
 Exothermic reactions: treat
heat as a product
C(s) + O2(g) ↔ CO2(g) + heat
 Adding heat will cause
formation of reactants
(reaction shifts left)

Effects of change in Volume/Pressure
Decreased volume leads to increased pressure
(Boyle’s Law)
 System moves to decrease # of gas molecules, thus
decreasing pressure
 If V is increased, P decreases. The system will shift to
bring P back up.

Effects of change in V/P practice
What happens when volume is reduced?
P4(s) + 6Cl2(g)↔ 4PCl3(l)
(6 gas molecules)
(0 gas molecules)
Solid and liquid don’t count!
Reaction will form more product because the Cl2
molecules will be colliding more. This will shift to the right
to lower pressure, forming more product!
Effects of change in V/P example
What happens when volume is increased?
CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)
(3 gas molecules)
(1 gas molecule)
Reaction will form more reactant because the only way to
equalize pressure is to make more gas molecules.
