We are going to look at an interesting demonstration Le Châtelier's Principle. The reaction of Silver Nitrate and Potassium Chloride to make Silver Chloride and then dissolution of the Silver Chloride, I am going to show you that. So first what I am going to do is combine solutions of potassium chloride and silver nitrate in this beaker and of course we will make the familiar milky white product, which is Silver Chloride. It is stirring here somewhat gently and now I am going to add aqueous ammonia. What happens is that Ammonia complexes the Silver and forms the Silver Ammonia complex.
Le Châtelier's Principle says that as we remove Silver from this what's going to happen is that we will form, that the Silver Chloride will dissolve to form more Chloride and more Silver. It is stirring; we have to add an amount of aqueous Ammonia to complex all of the Silver or enough of the Silver such that we no longer exceed the solubility product of Silver Chloride. You can see that it went from white to clear again. Again, Le Châtelier's Principle says that we dissolve the Silver Chloride that was in the container and reformed free Chloride ion and now in solution what we have is the Silver Ammonia complex.
Now we can reverse the process somewhat, we can use Le Châtelier's Principle again if we add Hydrochloric Acid. Hydrochloric Acid will react with the Ammonia to form ammonium chloride, which is soluble, but that is going to free up the Silver ion again. Therefore, the Silver will no longer be present predominately as the Silver Ammonia complex. What's going to happen is this - so now we are adding Hydrochloric Acid and you can see immediately we reformed Silver Chloride and it precipitated out because almost as soon as we added the Hydrochloric Acid. Again tying up the Ammonia to form an Ammonium cation we exceeded the solubility product of Silver Chloride and so we reprecipitated the Silver Chloride.
