Question
Consider the following reaction where Kc = 55.6 at 698 K.

H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g)

A reaction mixture was found to contain 4.52×10-2 moles of H2(g), 4.50×10-2 moles of I2(g) and 0.298 moles of HI(g), in a 1.00 liter container.

Is the reaction at equilibrium?
If not, what direction must it run in order to reach equilibrium?

The reaction quotient, Qc, equals .

The reactionfill in the blank 2
A. must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
B. must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
C. is at equilibrium.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider the equilibrium reaction:

H2 (g) + I2 (g)  2HI (g)                    Kc=55.6

The moles of H24.52×10-2 moles

The moles of I2 =  4.52×10-2 moles

The moles of HI = 0.298 moles

The volume of the container = 1.00 L
