If Kc for the formation of HI from H2 and I2 each is 64, then calculate Kc for the decomposition of 1 mole of HI. |

Answer» H2(g) + I2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2HI(g) using law of mass action- Kc = \(\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}\) = 64-----(i) for decomposition of one mole of HI--- HI(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 1/2 H2(g) + 1/2 I2(g) K'c = \(\frac{[H_2]^{1/2}[I_2]^{1/2}}{[HI]}\)----(ii) using equation (i) & (ii)--- K'c = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{K_c}}\) K'c = \(\frac1{\sqrt{64}}\) K'c = 1/8 K'c = 0.125 Hence, K'c for the decomposition of 1 mole of HI will be 0.125. |
