A mixture containing an initial concentration of 0.1726 M for H2 and 0.1361 M for I2 is allowed to come to equilibrium (see reaction below). What must be the equilibrium concentration of HI? H2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2HI(g) Kc = 48.7000

H2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2HI(g)
initial conc. 0.1726 0.1361 0
change -a -a +2a
Equb conc 0.1726-a 0.1361-a 2a
Equilibrium constant , Kc = [HI(g)]2 / ([H2(g)][I2(g)] )
Kc = 48.7000 = (2a)2 / [(0.1726-a)(0.1361-a)]
Solving we get a = 0.1164M
Therefore the equilibrium concentration of HI = 2a
= 2 x 0.1164 M
= 0.2327 M
