Hydrogen iodide decomposes according to the reaction 2HI(g)H2(g)+I2(g) A sealed 1.50L container initially holds 0.00623 mol of H2, 0.00414 mol of 12, and 0.0244 mol of H1 at 703 K. When equilibrium is reached, the concentration of H2(g) is 0.00467 M. What are the concentrations of H1(g) and 12(g)?

The concentration of the products in the equilibrium reaction shown below must be calculated in this problem.
2HI(g)H2(g)+I2(g)
Determine the given values first, then solve for each concentration.
V=15L
[H2]i=0.00623mol1.5L=0.00415M
[I2]i=0.00415mol1.5L=0.00276M
[HI]i=0.00244mol1.5L=0.00163M
[H2]eq=0.0467M
Write the reaction table.
I2HI⇆∣H2I2

I0.0163∣∣0.004150.00276
C2x∣∣+x+x
E0.01632x∣∣0.004670.00276x
Since we know the equilibrium concentration of H2, we can solve for the change x.
[H2]eq=[H2]i+x
x=[H2]eq[H2]i
=0.004670.00415
x=5.2×104
Now solve for the concentrations of HI and I2 using the reaction table and by substituting the calculated value of x.
[HI]eq=[HI]i2x
=0.01632(5.2×104)
[HI]eq=0.0153M
[I2]eq=[I2]i+x
=0.00276+5.2×104
[I2]eq=0.00328M

Given reaction:
2HI(g)H2(g)+I2(g)
H2:
n=0.00623mol
V=1.5L
Firstly we will calculate [H2]itial as the ratio of n and V:
[H2]=nV
[H2]=0.00623mol1.5L
[H2]=0.004153M
[I2]:
n=0.00414mol
V=1.5L
Now we will calculate [I2]itial as the ratio of n and V:
[I2]=nV
[I2]=0.00414mol1.5L
[I2]=0.00276M
HI:

n=0.00244mol
V=1.5L
Now we will calculate [HI]itial as the ratio of n and V:
[HI]=nV
[HI]=0.0244mol1.5L
[HI]=0.0163M
x - the change in the concentration of HI
Equilibrium concentrations
HI=0.01632x
H2=0.00415+x
I2=0.00276+x
[H2]itial=0.00467M
Use the equilibrium concentration for H2 to find the value of x:
x:
0.00415+x=0.00467
x=0.004670.00415
x=5.2104
* So now we can calculate the [HI]equilibrium and [I2]quiibrium due we have the value of x:
[HI]=0.01632x
[HI]=0.01632(5.2104)

Explanation:
First we have to calculate the concentration of H2,I2 and HI
Concentration of H2=Moles of H2Volume of solution=0.00623mol1.50L=0.00415MNSK
Concentration of I2=Moles of I2Volume of solution=0.00414mol1.50L=0.00276M
Concentration of HI=Moles of HIVolume of solution=0.0244mol1.50L=0.0163M
Now we have to calculate the value of equilibrium constant (K).
The given chemical reaction is:
2HI(g)H2(g)+I2(g)
Initialconc.0.01630.004150.00276Ateqm.(0.01632x)(0.00415+x)(0.00276+x)
As we are given:
Concentration of H2 at equilibrium =0.00467 M
NSK
That means,
(0.00415+x)=0.00467
x=0.00026M
Concentration of HI at equilibrium =(0.0163-2x)=(0.0163-2(0.00026))=0.0158M
Concentration of I2 at equilibrium =(0.00276+x)=(0.00276+0.00026)=0.00302M
