Le Chatelier's Principle
16. Chemical Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle / Problem 3

The interconversion of the purple CrCl3 and green [Cr(H2O)6]3+ ion shown in the following reaction is endothermic. 

CrCl3(aq) + 6 H2O(aq) ⇌ [Cr(H2O)6]3+(aq) + 3 Cl(aq)

What happens to the equilibrium concentration of CrCl3 in a solution of the reaction when the solution is diluted with water?
