Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.
2. Changes in concentration
The addition of NaOH would reduce the hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore,
the equilibrium will shift to the right in order to replace those hydrogen ions that
have been removed. The solution will become yellow as an excess of ions CrO42–
is produced.
b. The equilibrium will shift to the left and the solution turns from yellow to orange.
b. Adding more lead(II) nitrate increases the concentration of lead(II) ions. These
react with chloride ions to make lead(II) chloride. In effect, the concentration of
chloride ions is reduced, so the equilibrium shifts to the left. More lead(II) chloride
appears and the yellow colour of the solution fades.

b. The position of equilibrium shifts to the right. The change imposed on the
equilibrium system is an increase in the concentration of SO2. The position of
equilibrium will shift to use up some of the added SO2. In doing so, more SO3
will be formed.
