H2(g)+I2(g)⇌ 2HI(g), Kp=0.35 at 298 K
If PH2=0.10 atm,PI2=0.10 atm andPHI=0.80 atm at 298 K,has equilibrium been reached.If not state on which side of the equilibrium the system is??
Determine the Qp for the reaction
Qp = p(HI)2/(pH2) (pI2)
pHI = 0.8atm
pH2 = 0.1atm
pI2 = 0.1atm
Qp = (0.8) X (0.8)/(0.1) (0.1) = 64
Kp = 0.35 atm
Qp> Kp
As value of Qp is different from Kp, the reaction is not at equilibrium.
As Qp > Kp, the reaction is on the right side of the equilibrium and more HI needs to be converted to hydrogen and iodine to reach equilibrium state.
