Explain the effects of nh3 and hcl on the cuso4 solution in terms of le chatelier's principle

The Principle of Le Chatelier states that if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a disturbance, the system will react in such a way that it will diminish the effect of that disturbance. Thus, when the concentration of one of the substances in an equilibrium system is changed, the equilibrium varies in such a way that it can compensate for this change.

For example, if the concentration of one of the reactants is increased, the equilibrium shifts to the right or to the side of the products. Also, if you add more reagents, the reaction will move even more to the right until the balance is re-established again, increasing the quantity of products.

In this way, adding HCl to a solution of CuSO4 will produce the following reaction:

CuSO4 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) ⇔ CuCl2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq)

Initially the solution of CuSO4 in water will be blue, but when adding HCl the solution will change color to green, since the aqueous solutions of CuCl2 are green. By adding more HCl this color will intensify as the balance shifts to the right, producing more CuCl2 and H2SO4.

On the other hand, adding NH3 to a solution of CuSO4 will produce the following reaction

CuSO4 (aq) + 4NH3 (aq) ⇔ [Cu(NH3)4] SO4 (s)

Thus, by adding NH3 to the CuSO4 solution we will observe the formation of a precipitate corresponding to [Cu(NH3) 4] SO4. When adding more NH3, the formation of more precipitate will be observed as the equilibrium moves to the right, producing a greater quantity of [Cu (NH3) 4] SO4.

what are the choices?

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
