Chapter 6, Problem 3DQ

For the reaction ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g{\text{)+I}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g\text{)}\rightleftharpoons \text{2HI(}g\text{)}$ , considertwo possibilities using the same-sized, rigid container:(a) you add 0.5 mole of each reactant, allow the systemto come to equilibrium, then add another mole of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ ,and allow the system to reach equilibrium again, or (b)you add 1.5 moles of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ and 0.5 mole of ${\text{I}}_{\text{2}}$ and allowthe system to come to equilibrium. Will the final equilibriummixture be different for the two procedures?Explain.
