Chemistry

A mixture containing an initial concentration of 0.1726 M for H2and 0.1361 M for I2 is allowed to come to equilibrium (see reactionbelow). What must be the equilibrium concentration of HI? H2(g) +I2(g) ↔ 2HI(g) Kc = 48.7000

0.0726 M

0.0582 M

0.1164 M

0.2327 M

                             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
