Part 2

Write the reversible reaction for Part 2 (include colors)



For this reaction you need to know a few more pieces of information.

1)HCl --> H+ (or H3O+) + Cl1-
So, in a bucket of HCl solution, there is no HCl but only H+ and Cl1- ions.
Therefore, adding HCl really means adding H+ (or H3O+)

2) NaOH ---> Na1+ + OH1-
Then the OH1- + H+ ---> H2O

Looking at the above two equation, one needs to realize that you can explain lab observations in two different ways with respect to LeChatlier's Principle.

2a) OH1- from the NaOH consumes H+ as in the above reaction so adding the chemical is actually a decrease in [H+] or

2b)OH1- from the NaOH reacts with H+ to form H2O so adding the chemical is actually increase [H2O].


So, for the reactions with NaOH below, please alternate explanation (once using 2a & another times using 2b).
