Question

H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g) A 1.00-L flask contains a mixture of 2.00 mol H2 and 2.00 mol I2 at 698K. If the equilibrium concentration of hydroiodic acid is 3.16M, what is Kc at 698K?

Explanation / Answer

H2 + I2 <-------------> 2HI

2.0 2.0 0 initial concentration

2.0-x 2.0-x 2x equilibrium concentration

Given 2x = 3.16 M , hence x = 1.58 M

Thus the equilibrium concentration

0.42 0.42 3.16 equilibrium concentration

Thus

Kc = (3.16)2/0.42 x0.42

= 56.60
