Question

In a study of equilibrium
H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)
1mol of H2 and 3 mol of I2 give rise at equilibrium to x mol of HI.
Addition of a further 2 mol of H2 gave an additional x mol of HI. What is x?

3-0.5x
x
Equilibrium 2
3-x
3-x
2x
The expression for the equilibrium constant for two equilibria will be Kc=[HI]2[H2][I2]=x2(10.5x)(30.5x)=(2x)2(3x)(3x).
Hence, x=1.5.
