**Equilibrium Concentration Calculation Example**

**Problem Statement:**

If 2.00 moles of hydrogen (\(H_2\)) and iodine (\(I_2\)) are allowed to react in a 10.0 L vessel according to the following reaction with \( K_c = 64.0 \) at a certain temperature:

\[ H_2(g) + I_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2 HI(g) \]

What will be the equilibrium concentration of \(HI\)? 

**Options:**
a) 0.16 M

b) 0.32 M

c) 0.48 M

d) 0.64 M

---

**Solution Approach:**

1. **Initial Concentrations:**
   - Initial moles of \(H_2\) = 2.00 moles in 10.0 L -> Initial concentration of \(H_2\) = \(\frac{2.00}{10.0}\) = 0.20 M.
   - Initial moles of \(I_2\) = 2.00 moles in 10.0 L -> Initial concentration of \(I_2\) = \(\frac{2.00}{10.0}\) = 0.20 M.
   - Initial concentration of \(HI\) = 0 M (since none is initially present).

2. **Change in Concentrations:**
   - Let \( x \) be the concentration of \( H_2 \) and \( I_2 \) that reacts.
   - The reaction produces \( 2x \) moles of \( HI \).
   - Thus, the change in concentration is:
     \[ [H_2] = [I_2] = 0.20 - x \]
     \[ [HI] = 2x \]

3. **Equilibrium Expression:**
   - At equilibrium, substitute into the equilibrium expression for \( K_c \).
   \[ K_c = \frac {[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]} = 64.0 \]
   \[ \frac{(2x)^2}{(0.20 - x)(0.20 - x)} = 64.0 \]

4. **Solving for \( x \):**
   - \( \frac {4x^2}{(0.20-x
