Equilibrium And LeChatelier's Principle
Question 1
a) Write down the overall equation showing the formation of [Fe(acac)3] from [Fe(H2O)6] 3+ and acetylacetone [Fe(H2O)6] 3+(aq) + 3acacH(aq) [Fe(acac)3](aq) + 6H2O(l) +3H+ (aq).
b) What reagent (chemical agent) do you weigh out that ends up being the source of the [Fe(H2O)6] 3+?
Question 2
a) Circle the correct word in bold text to complete the following statements: A pH of less than 7 means a solution is acidic/basic. A pH of greater than 7 means a solution is acidic/basic.
b) The equation showing acetylacetone, acacH, forming the acac¯ ion is below:
acacH => acac¯ + H+
What is it about this equation that results in a solution of acacH being slightly acidic?
