Shifting Reactions B

In this next section we will investigate reversible reactions in more detail by observing adding or removing amounts of reactants or products. The reaction we will look at is the same reaction that we began (NOTE: add a link to Shifting Reactions A here) with; R + BG RG + B. In place of the microscopic representation we will view the reaction by tracking the amount of reactants and products using a chart recorder.

Experiment #1: Before starting the movie on the right note the Initial amounts of R, BG, RG and B. When you start the movie you will see a chart recording depicting the relative amounts of all four chemical species. View the movie on the right and consider the following questions:

9. Can you set up the RICE table (Reaction, Initial Condition, Change Condition and Ending Condition) with the Initial amounts of R, BG, RG and B? Answer

10. What happens when the Resume button is selected? Answer

View the movie on the right and answer the following question:

11. Describe what happens when the Enable Reactions button is selected? Answer

12. Continue the RICE table started in Question 9 by including the amounts of R, BG, RG and B after the chart recording stops (Ending amounts). Answer
