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.
