In an aqueous chloride solution cobalt(II) exists in equilibrium with the complex ion CoCl42-. Co2 (aq) is pink and CoCl42-(aq) is blue. At Low Temperature the pink color pre-dominates. At High Temperature the blue color is strong. If we represent the equilibrium as: CoCl4^2-(aq) <--> Co2+(aq) + 4Cl-(aq)
We can conclude that:___.
1. This reaction is:___.
A. Exothermic
B. Endothermic
C. Neutral
2. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium constant, K:.
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains the same.
3. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium concentration of Co2:.
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains the same.

1. This reaction is (A) Exothermic .

2. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium constant, K: (A) Increases

3.When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium concentration of Co2: (A) Increases

Explanation:

1. The pink color predominates at low temperatures, indicating that the commodity is preferred.

This is a reaction that is exothermic.

2. As the decrease in the temperature , the equilibrium constant , K ;

      equilibrium constant = =

As the temperature drops, the concentration of and rises, and K rises as well , thus it increases .

3. The equilibrium concentration of decreases as the temperature decreases:

When the temperature is lowered, the equilibrium shifts to the right , that is it increases.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
