A reaction between hydrogen and iodine occurs as follows:
H2( g)+I2( g)=2HI(g)Kc=57.0 at 700 K
\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{I}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})=2 \mathrm{HI}(\mathrm{g}) \quad K_{c}=57.0 \text { at } 700 \mathrm{~K}


If a 10 litre reaction vessel is fed with 1 mole1 \mathrm{~mole} of H2\mathrm{H}_{2} and 1 mole21 \mathrm{~mole}_{2} at 700 K700 \mathrm{~K}, what are the equilibrium concentrations of all components?
[cH2=c12=0.021M;cHI=0.158M]
\left[c_{\mathrm{H} 2}=c_{12}=0.021 \mathrm{M} ; c_{\mathrm{HI}}=0.158 \mathrm{M}\right]

Solution
1
Write the balanced chemical equation: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between hydrogen gas and iodine gas to form hydrogen iodide is H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g) \mathrm{H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)}
2
Set up the ICE table: To find the equilibrium concentrations, we use an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table. Initially, we have 1 mole of H2\mathrm{H_2} and 1 mole of I2\mathrm{I_2} in a 10-liter vessel, so their concentrations are both 0.1M0.1 \, \mathrm{M}. The initial concentration of HI\mathrm{HI} is 0M0 \, \mathrm{M}. At equilibrium, the concentration of H2\mathrm{H_2} and I2\mathrm{I_2} will have decreased by xx moles/L, and the concentration of HI\mathrm{HI} will have increased by 2x2x moles/L
3
Apply the equilibrium constant expression: The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is Kc=[HI]2[H2][I2] K_c = \frac{[\mathrm{HI}]^2}{[\mathrm{H_2}][\mathrm{I_2}]} . Given that Kc=57.0 K_c = 57.0 at 700K 700 \, \mathrm{K} , we can set up the equation 57.0=(2x)2(0.1x)(0.1x) 57.0 = \frac{(2x)^2}{(0.1 - x)(0.1 - x)}
4
Solve for \( x \): Solving the quadratic equation for x x will give us the change in concentration for H2\mathrm{H_2} and I2\mathrm{I_2} and the formation of HI\mathrm{HI} at equilibrium
5
Calculate equilibrium concentrations: Once x x is found, we can calculate the equilibrium concentrations: [H2]=[I2]=0.1x [\mathrm{H_2}] = [\mathrm{I_2}] = 0.1 - x and [HI]=2x [\mathrm{HI}] = 2x . Given the provided answer, x=0.079M x = 0.079 \, \mathrm{M} , so the equilibrium concentrations are [H2]=[I2]=0.021M [\mathrm{H_2}] = [\mathrm{I_2}] = 0.021 \, \mathrm{M} and [HI]=0.158M [\mathrm{HI}] = 0.158 \, \mathrm{M}
Answer
[H₂] = [I₂] = 0.021 M; [HI] = 0.158 M
Key Concept
Equilibrium concentrations are determined using an ICE table and the equilibrium constant expression.
Explanation
The equilibrium concentrations are calculated by setting up an ICE table, applying the equilibrium constant expression, and solving for the change in concentration (x), which is then used to find the final concentrations of all species at equilibrium.
