Simulation of the lifting tube experiment for the chemical equilibrium
After the experimental execution of the lifting tube experiment, the parameters of the experiment can efficiently be varied by a simulation. This model experiment maps a chemical equilibrium between A and B:
The following table compares the parameters of the lifting tube experiment are compared with those of the chemical equilibrium.
| Simulation | chemisches Gleichgewicht |
|---|---|
| water amount in cylinder A: V(A) | amount of substance A: n(A) |
| water amount in cylinder B: V(B) | amount of substance B: n(B) |
| cross section area of forward lifting tube: Afor | reaction rate forward reaction: kback |
| cross section area of backwards lifting tube: Aback | reaction rate backwards reaction: kback |
| Afor / Aback | kfor / kback = K |

The maximum water volume is 100 ml. It is V(B) = 100 ml - V(A):
