H2(g) + i2(g) â 2 hi(g) kc = 64 at 400âºc 3.00 moles of h2 and 3.00 moles of i2 are placed in a 4.00 l container and the system is allowed to reach equilibrium. calculate the concentration of hi at equilibrium.

1.2 mol/L

Explanation:

The reaction given is:

H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇄ 2HI (g)

In the begning, the molar concentrations are (number of moles divided by volume):

MH₂ = MI₂ = 3/4 = 0.75 mol/L

So, making a table for the equilibrium:

H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇄ 2HI (g)

0.75      0.75      0         Initial

-x             -x       +2x      Rects (stoichiometry is 1:1:2)

0.75-x     0.75-x   2x     Equilibrium

For a generic reaction aA + bB ⇄ cC +dD, the equilibrium constant is:

So, for the reaction given:

Kc = (2x)²/[(0.75-x)(0.75-x)]

64 = 4x²/(0.5625 - 1.5x + x²)

36 - 96x + 64x² = 4x²

60x² - 96x + 36 = 0 (dividing for 12)

5x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Using Baskhara:

Δ = (-8)² - 4x5x3 = 64 - 60 = 4

x =

x' = (8+2)/10 = 1

x'' = (8-2)/10 = 0.6

x must be smaller then 0.75, so x = 0.6 mol

Then the molar concentration of HI in equilibrium is 2x = 1.2 mol/L

right

explanation:

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen
