Question

Can you explain the concept? How do I do the calculations? For example, where did the 4x2 came from?

Substitute the equilibrium
concentrations into the
equilibrium-constant.
expression and solve for x:
If you have an equation-
solving calculator, you can
solve this equation directly
for x. If not, expand this
expression to obtain a
quadratic in x:
Thus, solving the quadratic
equation leads to two
solutions for x:
x =
Kc
=
[HI]²
(2x)²
[H₂][1₂] (1.000 - x)(2.000 - x)
X =
=
4x²
46.5x2 – 151.5x + 101.0 0
=
For a general quadratic equation of the form:
ax² + bx + c = 0
The solution takes the form (two roots):
-b ± √b²-4(a)(c)
50.5(x² - 3.000x + 2.000)
2a
-(-151.5) + V1(-151.5)² - 4(46.5)(101.0)
2(46.5)
Substitute x = 2.323 into the expressions for
the equilibrium concentrations of H₂ and 12.
Reject negative solutions or concentrations.
THUS: use x = 0.935 to find the equilibrium
concentrations:
=
50.5
-
2.323 or 0.935
[H₂] = 1.000 x = 0.065 M
[1₂] = 2.000- x = 1.065 M
[HI] = 2x = 1.87 M

A 1.000-L flask is filled with 1.000 mol of H₂ and 2.000 mol of 12 at 448 °C. The value
of the equilibrium constant K, for the reaction: H₂(g) + 12(g) = 2 HI(g)
C
at 448 °C is 50.5. What are the equilibrium concentrations of H₂, 12₂, and HI in moles
per liter?
Solution
Plan: In this case, we are not given any of the equilibrium concentrations. We
must form relationships that relate the initial concentrations to those at
equilibrium. The procedure is similar to that previously outlined, we just have
less initial information.
First, we note the initial
concentrations of H₂ and 12
in the 1.000-L flask:
Second, we construct a
table in which
we tabulate the initial
concentrations:
[H₂] = 1.000 M and [1₂] = 2.000 M
