As The dissociation of molecular iodine into iodine atoms is represented as 12(g) 21(g) At 1000 K, the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction is 3-80-10-5. Suppose you start with 0.0451 mol of I2 in a 2.35-L flask at 1000 K. What are the concentrations of the gases at equilibrium? What is the equilibrium concentration of I2? What is the equilibrium concentration of I?

Explanation / Answer

I2 <-> 2I

Kc = 3.8*10^-5

0.0451 mol of I2

V =2.35 L

Concentration of gases in equilibrium?

Kc = [I]2 / [I2]

Initial Concentration

I = 0 M

I2 = 0.0451 mol / 2.35L = 0.01919 M

Final concnetration

I = +2x

I2 = 0.01919 - x

Substitutein Kc

Kc = [I]2 / [I2]

3.8*10^-5 = (2x)^2 / (0.01919-x)

Solve for x

3.8*10^-5 = 4x^2 / (0.01919-x)

(0.01919-x)(3.8*10^-5) = 4x^2

7.29*10^-7 -(3.8*10^-5) x -4x^2 = 0

x = 4.22*10^-4

Substitute in concentrations:

I = +2x = 2(4.22*10^-4) = 8.44*10^-4

I2 = 0.01919 - x = 0.01919 - 4.22*10^-4 = 0.01876

[I] = 8.44*10^-4

[I2] = 0.01876
