For the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g), consider two possibilities: (a) you mix 0.5 mole of each reactant, allow the system to come to equilibrium, and then add another mole of H2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium again, or (b) you mix 1.5 moles of H2 and 0.5 mole of I2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium. Will the final equilibrium mixture be different for the two procedures? Explain.
A chemical engineer is studying the following reaction: 2 H2S(g)+30,(9) → 2 SO2(g)+2H,O(g) At the temperature the engineer picks, the equilibrium constant K, for this reaction is 0.031.

3. For the reaction SO2(g) + NO2(g) 2 NO(g) + SO3(g), Ko = 85.0 at 4.60 x 102 °C. A reaction is started with 0.0500 M of both reactants (Note, initially no products). a) Calculate the equilibrium concentration in M of all species. (If you correctly set-up the ICE chart for this problem, you will see the equilibrium constant expression is a perfect square & so the quadratic formula is not needed. If yours is not a perfect square, check your work.)
