Question

For the system: 2 HI(g) ⇌ H2(g) + I2(g), at 445oC, the value for Kc is 0.020. A mixture of H2, I2, and HI in a vessel at 445oC has the following concentrations:

[HI] = 2.0 mol/L, [H2] = 0.50 mol/L and [I2] = 0.10 mol/L

Which one of the following statements about Qc is TRUE for the above system?

 

Question 8 options:

 

Qc is less than Kc; more HI will form

 

Qc is less than Kc; so more H2 & I2 will form

 

Qc = Kc; the system is at equilibrium

 

Qc is greater than Kc; more H2 and I2 will form
