    This document provides instructions for an experiment demonstrating Le Châtelier's principle by disturbing the equilibrium between iron(III) ions and thiocyanate ions in solution. Students will prepare 7 test tubes with the equilibrium reaction and disturb each one in a different way: by adding more thiocyanate or iron ions, changing the pH with hydroxide ions, adding a solid reactant, cooling in an ice bath, or heating in a water bath. They will observe the color change in each test tube compared to the control and record their observations, demonstrating how the system responds to disturbances by shifting the equilibrium position to counteract the applied stress.

    15B – LE CHÂTELIER’S PRINCIPLE

    What are the effects on a reversible reaction in equilibrium when the concentration or temperature is
    changed?

     Beakers, 250-mL (2)  1 M KOH, 10 mL


     Graduated cylinders, 10-mL (2)  Solid K3PO4, 5 g
     Test tubes, 20 mm x 150 mm (7)  0.1 M KSCN, 10 mL
     Test tube rack  0.01 M KSCN, 10 mL
     Heater stirrer  Ice
     0.1 M Fe(NO3)3, 10 mL  Wash bottle with distilled water
     0.01 M Fe(NO3)3, 10 mL

    Equilibrium is established when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse
    reaction. When equilibrium is established the ratio of products-to-reactants can be determined and
    expressed as an equilibrium constant, K. When K is large, there is a high concentration of products
    relative to the concentration of reactants. When K is small, there is a high concentration of reactants
    relative to the products. It is possible, however, to disturb the equilibrium, resulting in a change in the
    ratio. In this investigation, you will create an equilibrium solution using iron(III) ions and thiocyanate
    ions:

    Fe3+(aq) + SCN–(aq) ⇄ FeSCN2+(aq)

    You will then disturb the equilibrium in a variety of ways.

    Follow these important safety precautions in addition to your regular classroom procedures.
     Wear safety goggles at all times.
     Report and clean up all chemical spills as directed by your teacher.

    1. Label seven clean test tubes with the numbers 1 through 7.

    2. Put about 150 mL of water into a 250-mL beaker. Put the beaker on the heater stirrer and set the heat
    to medium. This is a hot water bath that will be used later in the experiment.

    3. Into test tube #1, add 2 mL of 0.01 M Fe(NO3)3 and 2 mL of 0.01 M KSCN. Mix thoroughly.
    Describe the color change in Table 1 on your answer sheet and keep this test tube as your control.
    You will compare all the other test tubes with this control.

    4. Prepare 6 additional identical test tubes. Place 2 mL of 0.01 M Fe(NO 3)3 and 2 mL of 0.01 M KSCN
    and mix thoroughly. If one test tube does not match the control test tube, discard it and prepare it
    again.

    5. In test tube #2, add 2-3 drops of 0.1 M KSCN and mix thoroughly. Record your observations
    relative to the control in Table 1.

    6. In test tube #3, add 2-3 drops of 0.1 M Fe(NO3)3 and mix thoroughly. Record your observations.

    7. In test tube #4, add 2-3 drops of 1 M KOH and mix thoroughly. Record your observations.

    8. In test tube #5, add a few small pieces of solid K 3PO4 and mix thoroughly. Record your
    observations.

    9. Create an ice bath by filling a 250-mL beaker with water and ice. Place test tube #6 in the ice bath
    for 2-3 minutes. Record your observations.

    10. Place test tube #7 in the hot water bath your set up earlier. Leave the test tube in the hot water bath
    for 2-3 minutes. Record your observations.

    11. Dispose of the material according to your instructor.

    Complete the analysis on your answer sheet.

    Answer the questions on your answer sheet.
