This question has multiple parts.
00:03
Each part is quite challenging.
00:05
So let's get started.
00:06
We have an equilibrium.
00:10
One mole h2 plus one mole i2 gas goes to two moles h5 gas.
00:16
It's mentioned that it has an equilibrium constant equal to 50 at 745 kelvin.
00:31
For part a, we add one mole of i2 and three moles of h2 to a 10 -liter flask.
00:38
That means that we're going to have an initial concentration of 0 .1 molar i2 and 0 .3 molar h2.
00:48
We're simply taking the 1 moles and the 3 moles and dividing them by 10 to get our concentration.
00:56
And we have an initial amount of hi of nothing, zero.
01:00
So the reaction needs to shift to the right so that we have some hi at equilibrium.
01:06
So we'll decrease our h2 concentration by x and our i2 concentration by.
01:11
By x, but increase our h .i.
01:14
Concentration by 2x.
01:17
So these will then be the concentrations of each of them at equilibrium.
01:22
To solve for the concentration of everything at equilibrium, which is what we need to do first before we can determine the amount in moles of h .i.
01:31
That are produced, we set up our equilibrium expression.
01:36
So at equilibrium we'll have 2x of h .i.
01:39
In the equilibrium constant expression, we need to square it because of the two.
01:44
We'll then divide by the equilibrium concentrations of h2 and i2.
01:52
Now we have a moderately difficult algebraic expression that we need to solve.
01:57
We'll need to use the quadratic formula or you may choose to use some online solver or a solver in excel or your calculator or whatever your instructor has encouraged you to use.
02:10
And we get x equal to 9 .6 times 10 of the negative 2.
02:15
To determine the moles of h .i.
02:17
X is just the concentration.
02:20
I'm sorry, x is not the concentration of h .i.
02:23
But 2 times x is.
02:24
So what we have to do is we have to figure out the concentration of h .i...
