Solution

The correct option is B 0.06 mole
The equilibrium reaction is H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g).
The number of moles of various species present initially and at equilibrium are given in the following table.

H2
I2HI

The expression for the equilibrium constant is Kc=[HI]2[H2][I2]
Substitute values in the above expression.

64=(2x10)2(0.3x10)×(0.3x10)

or x=0.24.
The amount of unreacted iodine is 0.3x=0.30.24=0.06.
