The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the effects of adding nitrogen gas (N₂) to the equilibrium system of the reaction \( H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: The equilibrium reaction is: \[ H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g) \] Here, we have 1 mole of \( H_2 \) and 1 mole of \( I_2 \) producing 2 moles of \( HI \). 2. **Identifying the Equilibrium Constants**: The equilibrium constants are defined as: - \( K_p \) (in terms of partial pressures) - \( K_c \) (in terms of molar concentrations) The relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta n} \] where \( \Delta n \) is the change in the number of moles of gas, which is calculated as: \[ \Delta n = n_{products} - n_{reactants} \] In this case, \( n_{products} = 2 \) (from \( 2HI \)) and \( n_{reactants} = 1 + 1 = 2 \) (from \( H_2 + I_2 \)), thus: \[ \Delta n = 2 - 2 = 0 \] 3. **Effect of Adding N₂**: When nitrogen gas is added at constant volume, it does not participate in the reaction. Therefore, the concentrations of \( H_2 \), \( I_2 \), and \( HI \) remain unchanged because the volume is constant and only the total pressure increases due to the addition of \( N_2 \). 4. **Impact on K_p and K_c**: Since both \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) depend only on temperature and the concentrations of the reactants and products do not change, we conclude that: - \( K_p \) remains constant. - \( K_c \) remains constant. 5. **Final Conclusion**: Therefore, both \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) will remain constant after the addition of \( N_2 \). ### Answer: Both \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) will remain constant.
