B) THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE

1. 4 mL 0.2 M CoCl is placed in a conical flask.

2. 12 Ml of 6 M HCl is added and the flask is swirled.







3. The solution appeared is pink. So, more HCl is added. Purple solution is formed.

4. The purple solution is sperated into 3 different test tubes.
a) test tube is left at room temperature




b) test tube is left in the ice bath

c) test tube is left in a water bath at 90
o
C

5. The colour of each solution is recorded. The second and the third test tube is removed and is
left at room temperature. The colour changed is observed.


C) DETERMINATION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
1. 5.0 mL of antimony chloride (0.5 M SbCl
3
in 6 M HCl ) is pipette into a conical flask.

2. Distilled water is added carefully from burette into the conical flask while swirling it until a
milky solution is obtained.

3. The volume of water added is recorded.
4. The value of the equilibrium constant, K
C
is calculated.
