Expert Solution
Introduction

In any reaction, at specific time, the engaged reactant's/product's quantities estimation gets accomplished by their reaction quotient (Q). At equilibrium, Q becomes identical with K that is equilibrium constant.

 

Given

The equilibrium constant Kc is 50.

The temperature is 448oC.

The concentration of H2 is 5 M.

The concentration of i2 is 10 M.

The concentration of HI is 100 M.

The volume is 100 L.

Solution

Part (a):

The given reaction is as follows,

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

The expression for reaction quotient is shown below.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 2

Here,

The reaction quotient is “Q”.

Solution

Substitute the known values in the equation (I).

Chemistry homework question answer, step 3, image 1

Hence, the reaction quotient of the reaction is 200.

Solution

Part (b):

The equilibrium constant expression is shown below.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 4, image 1

Here,

The equilibrium constant is “Kc”.

Since the concentration of product is very large in the reaction. Therefore, the reaction will proceed to the backward direction. And the concentration of reactants will increase in the reaction.

The ICE table for the given reaction is shown below.

Solution

Now, substitute the known values in equation (II).

Since, the change in concentration cannot be negative.

Therefore, the value of x is 5.37M.
