A student puts a small amount of white ammonium chloride in the middle of a long glass tube. The student heats the tube where the ammonium chloride is positioned. After several minutes, the student stops heating and allows the tube to cool.
NH4Cl(s)⇌NH3(g)+HCl(g)\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{HCl(g)}NH4Cl(s)⇌NH3(g)+HCl(g)
Describe the changes seen in the heated region and in the cooler regions of the tube. Explain how changing the temperature causes these changes and how energy is transferred in the two directions of the reaction.
