In the reaction below, 4.24 atm each of H2 and I2 were placed into a 1.00 L flask and allowed to react: H2(g) + I2(g) <=> 2 HI(g) Given that Kp = 33.9, calculate the equilibrium pressure of I2 to 2 decimal places.
H2(g) + I2(g) <=> 2 HI(g)
initial 4.24 atm 4.24 atm 0 atm
change -x -x +2x
equil 4.24-x 4.24-x 2x
Kp = pHI^2/pH2*pI2
33.9 = (2x)^2/(4.24-x)^2
x = 3.156
partial pressure of HI = 2x = 2*31.56 = 63.12 atm
partial pressure of I2 = 4.24-x
= 4.24-3.156
= 1.08 atm
partial pressure of H2 = 4.24-x
= 4.24-3.156
= 1.08 atm
