The following reaction was performed in a sealed vessel at 724*C :
H2(g)+I2(g)?2HI(g)
Initially, only H2 and I2 were present at concentrations of [H2]=3.85M and [I2]=2.85M. The equilibrium concentration of I2 is 0.0800M . What is the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at this temperature?
Express answer numerically
H2(g)+
I2(g)
<---> 2HI(g)
initial:
3.85
2.85
0
at equlibrium:
3.85-x
2.85-x
2x
given at equilibrium, [I2]=0.08 M
so,
2.85-x = 0.08
x= 2.77 M
[H2]= 3.85-x = 3.85 - 2.77 = 1.08 M
[HI]= 2x = 2* 2.77=5.54 M
Kc = [HI]^2/{[H2]*[I2]}
= 5.54^2 / (1.08*0.08)
