Solution

The correct option is C 50%
Solution:Correct option is c).

$\begin{matrix} H_{2} (g) + & l_{2} (g) ⇋ & 2 H I (g) I n i t i a l m o l e s & 1 & 1 & 0 A t e q u i l i b r i u m & 1 - x & 1 - x & 2 x M o l a r c o n c e n t r a t i o n (m o l / L) & (1 - x) / 2 & (1 - x) / 2 & 2 x / 2 = x \end{matrix}$

$K = x^{2} / \frac{(1 - x) \times (1 - x)}{2 \times 2} = 4 x^{2} / (1 - x)^{2} \approx 4 x^{2}$
$K = K_{f} / K_{b} = 1$

$4 x^{2} = 1 x = \frac{1}{2}, i . e ., 50 %$
