Answer

The missing values are, respectively (top to bottom): $$K_C = 617$$ $$[H_2] = 0.343 \space M$$ $$[HI] = 0.338 \space M$$

Work Step by Step

(a) 1. Write the equilibrium constant expression: - The exponent of each concentration is equal to its balance coefficient. $$K_C = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[ HI ] ^{ 2 }}{[ H_2 ][ I_2 ]}$$ 2. Substitute the values and calculate the constant value: $$K_C = \frac{( 0.922 )^{ 2 }}{( 0.0355 )( 0.0388 )} = 617$$ (b) 2. Solve for the missing concentration: $$ [H_2] = \frac{[ HI ]^{ 2 }}{[ I_2 ]\times K_c}$$ 3. Evaluate the expression: $$ [H_2] = \frac{( 0.387 )^{ 2 }}{( 0.0455 )\times(9.6)} $$ $$[H_2] = 0.343 \space M$$ (c) 2. Solve for the missing concentration: $$ \sqrt[2]{K_c \times [ H_2 ][ I_2 ]}{} = [HI]$$ 3. Evaluate the expression: $$ [HI] = \sqrt[2]{(50.2) \times {( 0.0485 )( 0.0468 )}{}}$$ $$[HI] = 0.338 \space M$$
