This reaction was at equilibrium when 0.2 atm of iodine gas was pumped into the container, what happened to the equilibrium and the partial pressures of the gases

Respuesta :

Answer:

Q was < K. Partial pressure of hydrogen decreased, iodine increased

Explanation:

After iodine was added the Q was [Select] K so the reaction shifted toward the Products [Select] ,The partial pressure of hydrogen [Select], Iodine [Select] |,and hydrogen iodide Decreased

Based on the equilibrium:

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇄ 2HI(g)

K of equilibrium is:

K = [HI]² / [H2] [I2]

Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium

And Q is:

Q = [HI]² / [H2] [I2]

Where [] are actual concentrations of the reactants.

When the reaction is in equilibrium, K=Q.

But as [I2] is increased, Q decreases and Q was < K

The only concentration that increases is [I2], doing partial pressure of hydrogen decreased, iodine increased
