    This document outlines a lab experiment to demonstrate Le Châtelier's principle through four equilibrium systems: A) the solubility of NaCl, B) an acid-base indicator, C) the formation of iron (III) thiocyanate complex, and D) the chromate/dichromate equilibrium. Students are instructed to establish each equilibrium, apply stresses like adding reactants or changing conditions, observe the results, and explain their observations using Le Châtelier's principle which states that applied stresses disrupt equilibrium and the system responds to counteract the change.

    LeChteliers Principle Mini-Lab Purpose of Lab: establish four equilibrium systems apply stresses to the equilibrium systems explain

    ain the changes in equilibrium using LeChateliers Principle Procedure: ASolubility Equilibrium for NaCl 1. Fill one well of a microwell plate half full of saturated NaCl solution. 2. Add several drops of concentrated HCl and record results. Rinse down the drain with excess water. BAcid-Base Equilibrium 1. Fill one well of a microplate half full of deionized water. 2. Add two-four drops of bromothymol blue indicator. 3. Now add 0.1 M NaOH drop by drop until a color change appears. Stir with toothpick. Note the change. 4. Add 0.1 M HCl drop by drop until a color change appears. Note the change. 5. Again add 0.1 M NaOH drop by drop until a color change appears. Note the change. Rinse down the drain. CIron (III) Thiocyanate Equilibrium 1. Add 0.2 M Fe(NO3)3 solution to fill the bottom of one well. Add 12 drops of 0.1 M KSCN. Fill the remainder of the well with deionized water. Stir with toothpick. 2. Take ~15 drops of the solution from step 1 and place in another well. Repeat 2 more times. To one of the new wells, add ~4 drops of Fe(NO3)3. Record observations. To a second new well, add ~4 drops of KSCN. Record observations. To the third, add ~4 drops of 1.0 M NaOH. Record observations. Rinse down the drain. DChromate, Dichromate Equilibrium 1. Using separate pipettes, add the chromate solution to fill the bottom of four separate wells. Do the same with the dichromate solution. Add 5 drops of 1.0 M HCl to one of the wells for each solution. Observe and record. Now add 5 drops of 1.0 M NaOH to another well of each solution. Observe and record. To the third and fourth wells of each solution add five drops of Ba(NO3)2 solution. Observe and record. 2. Now return to the first well of each solution and add 5-6 drops of 1.0 M NaOH. If no change occurs add a few more drops. Do the same procedure to the second well of each solution but use 1.0 M HCl. To the third and fourth wells of each solution, determine what can be added to each well where there was a precipitate to redissolve it, and what can be added to each well where there was no precipitate to make a precipitate form. Test your hypotheses and record your results. Try several wells to see if you can make them change back and forth by adding the appropriate solutions. Once finished, rinse plate down sink.
