Chromium (VI) forms two different oxyanions, the orange dichromate ion, Cr2o72-, And the yellow chromate ion, CrO4 2-. The equil
ibrium reaction between the ions is: Cr2O7 2- (aq) + H2O(l)→ 2CrO4 2-(aq) + 2H(aq)
Explain
a) Why does the orange dichromate solution turn yellow when sodium hydroxide is added. Write the net ionic equation for this shift.
b) How will this system shift at equilibrium if the temperature is increased
When we add sodium hydroxide to the system as shown, the hydroxide ion removes the hydrogen ion thereby leaving a large concentration CrO4^2-(aq) in the system this causes the solution to turn green(equilibrium position shifts to the right).
The net ionic equation is;
OH^-(aq) + H^+(aq) ----> H2O(l)
The reaction;
OH^-(aq) + H^+(aq) ----> H2O(l) is exothermic hence, if the temperature of the system is increased, the equilibrium position will shift towards the left hand side and the solution turns orange.

A computer is made up of wires which is like nerves in our body they send signals throughout our bodies and tell us what to do about a situation. The hard drive of a computer is just like our brain which is the main component of the nervous system it controls involuntary, voluntary, movement and coordination. Also, just like the keys and mouse of a computer we have sensory neurons which pick up what is around us by touch.
