    The document outlines an experiment to investigate Le Chatelier's Principle of Chemical Equilibria using different transition metal complexes and colored indicators. Students will observe the color changes that occur when stress is applied to equilibrium systems involving dichromate/chromate, copper(II) sulfate, cobalt(II) chloride, and iron(III) complexes. They will then infer how the addition of reagents like acids, bases, heat or cold cause the equilibrium to shift by changing concentrations to minimize the stress and reach a new equilibrium state.

    Experiment #: Date:

    Name:
    Topic: Chemical Equilibria

    Aim
    To investigate Le Chatelier’s Principle of Chemical Equilibria

    Background
    Equilibrium systems involve reversible reactions in which the forward and reverse
    reactions are occurring at equal rates. If an equilibrium system remains undisturbed, the
    concentration of each chemical species in the system will remain constant indefinitely. Le
    Chatelier predicted how an equilibrium system would respond to changes imposed on it.
    According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if the system is disturbed, it will respond in such a way to
    minimize the change and go back to equilibrium. A new equilibrium position is reached.
    In this experiment you will investigate equilibrium systems involving transition metal
    complex ions. These systems contain colored substances which will enable you to determine the
    direction of equilibrium shifts based on color changes.
