changes in temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration affect
the equilibrium position for a chemical reaction

Principle
2. There is chemical waste that must be disposed of properly in
this lab. Identify which wastes are highly hazardous and
explain why they must be properly discarded.
Define Le Chatelier’s Principle in your own words:
If concentration of a reactant is increased, explain which way
(and why) the equilibrium will shift
If product is removed from a reaction at equilibrium, it will
cause a shift in which direction? Why?
If the temperature of an endothermic reaction is raised, what
will be the effect on equilibrium? Explain.
If the temperature of an exothermic reaction is decreased, what
will be the effect on equilibrium? Explain.

Principle
1. There are safety hazards in this lab
experiment. Specifically, what are the safety hazards
associated with the experimental procedure? Be sure to
clearly identify and explain why these are hazards.
1. Explain how a concentration dependant monomer-dimer
equilibrium agrees with Le Châtelier’s principle. Hint, in order
for a dimer to form two monomers must collide and dimers, once
formed, do dissociate after a period of time.
10- Describe Le Chatelier’s Principle
11-Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect
will reducing some C have on the system? Why?

will reducing the volume of the reaction mixture have on the
system? Why?...

2. Describe the change observed when sodium hydroxide is added
in step b (step b. Add enough 0.1M NaOH to cause a
change. Swirl/stir to mix thoroughly) and explain why
this change is consistent with Le Chatelier's principle. {Note – to
explain in terms of Le Chatelier’s principle means to explain the
new change in conditions (in terms of...
