The reaction of hydrogen and iodine to produce hydrogen iodide has a Kc of 54.3 at 703 K. Given the initial concentrations of H2 and I2 are 0.453 M, what will the concentration of HI be at equilibrium

[HI] = 0.7126 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 54.3

Temperature = 703 K

Initial concentration of H2 and I2 = 0.453 M

Step 2: the balanced equation

H2 + I2 ⇆ 2HI

Step 3: The initial concentration

[H2] = 0.453 M

[I2] = 0.453 M

[HI] = 0 M

Step 4: The concentration at equilibrium

[H2] = 0.453 - X

[I2] = 0.453 - X

[HI] = 2X

Step 5: Calculate Kc

Kc = [Hi]² / [H2][I2]

54.3 = 4x² / (0.453 - X(0.453-X)

X = 0.3563

[H2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[I2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[HI] = 2X = 2*0.3563 = 0.7126 M

58750.08068 is the answer i think
