The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equilibrium concentration of \( H_2 \) given the equilibrium constant \( K \) and the concentrations of \( I_2 \) and \( HI \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the balanced chemical equation**: \[ H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g) \] 2. **Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K \)**: The equilibrium constant \( K \) is defined as: \[ K = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]} \] where \( [HI] \), \( [H_2] \), and \( [I_2] \) are the equilibrium concentrations of hydrogen iodide, hydrogen, and iodine, respectively. 3. **Substitute the known values into the equilibrium expression**: We know: - \( K = 32 \) - \( [I_2] = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, M \) - \( [HI] = 8 \times 10^{-3} \, M \) Substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ 32 = \frac{(8 \times 10^{-3})^2}{[H_2] \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3})} \] 4. **Calculate \( (8 \times 10^{-3})^2 \)**: \[ (8 \times 10^{-3})^2 = 64 \times 10^{-6} = 6.4 \times 10^{-5} \] 5. **Rearrange the equation to solve for \( [H_2] \)**: \[ 32 = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{-5}}{[H_2] \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3})} \] Multiplying both sides by \( [H_2] \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3}) \): \[ 32 \times [H_2] \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3}) = 6.4 \times 10^{-5} \] 6. **Solve for \( [H_2] \)**: \[ [H_2] = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{-5}}{32 \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3})} \] \[ = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{-5}}{16 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{6.4}{16} \times 10^{-2} = 0.4 \times 10^{-2} = 4 \times 10^{-3} \, M \] ### Final Answer: The equilibrium concentration of \( H_2 \) is \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \, M \). ---
