Question
  1. The reaction quotient of a reversible reaction is $Q_C$ and the equilibrium constant is $K_c$. What do you conclude for the reaction if $Q_c < K_c$?
  2. State Le Chatelier's principle.
  3. In qualitative analysis, $NH_4Cl$ is added before adding $NH_4OH$ solution for testing of III group radicals [$Fe^{3+}, Cr^{3+}$ and $Al^{3+}$]. Explain by using concept of common ion effect.

Answer

  1. If $Q_c < K_c$; the reaction tends towards forward direction to attain equilibrium.
  2. Le Chatelier's Principle: If a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature or pressure, the equilibrium shifts in a direction that tends to undo the effect of the change.
  3. Hydroxides of group III are precipitated by adding $NH_4OH$ in presence of $NH_4Cl$. The role of $NH_4Cl$ is to produce common ion effect.
$\text{NH}_4\text{OH}\rightleftharpoons\text{NH}^+_4+\text{OH}^-$
$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}\xrightarrow{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{NH}_4^++\text{Cl}^-$
Due to common ion effect, the degree of dissociation of $NH_4OH$ is suppressed and less $OH^‑$ are formed. This less concentration of $OH^-$ is sufficient to precipitate group III cations but not the cations of higher groups since the $K_{sp}$ of group III < subsequent groups.
