Hydrogen iodide decomposes according to the equation: 2HI(g) H 2(g) + I 2(g), K c = 0.0156 at 400ºC A 0.660 mol sample of HI was injected into a 2.00 L reaction vessel held at 400ºC. Calculate the concentration of HI at equilibrium.

[HI] = 0.264M

Explanation:

Based on the equilibrium:

2HI(g) ⇄ H₂(g) + I₂(g)

It is possible to define Kc of the reaction as the ratio between concentration of products and reactants using coefficients of each compound, thus:

Kc = 0.0156 = [H₂] [I₂] / [HI]²

As initial concentration of HI is 0.660mol / 2.00L = 0.330M, the equlibrium concentrations will be:

[HI] = 0.330M - 2X

[H₂] = X

[I₂] = X

Where X is reaction coefficient.

Replacing in Kc:

0.0156 = [X] [X] / [0.330M - 2X]²

0.0156 = X² / [0.1089 - 1.32X + 4X² ]

0.00169884 - 0.020592 X + 0.0624 X² = X²

0.00169884 - 0.020592 X - 0.9376 X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = - 0.055 → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.0330 → Right solution.

Replacing in HI formula:

[HI] = 0.330M - 2×0.033M

it takes on an electronical energy

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.

hope it ,
