Is the Equilibrium Calculation for HI Correct?

In summary: OK?In summary, the conversation involves solving for equilibrium constants and determining the correct units and notation to use in the equations. The final equation should include the volume in both the numerator and denominator, and the mole ratio of hydrogen to iodine should be 1:2. It is important to treat all reactants and products in the same way, either as moles or concentrations.

Member warned about not using the homework template
Kc1 = (5.8*2/5)^2 / (14/5)(1.4/5) = 6.865

6.865 = [HI]^2 / (45/253.8/100)(0.5/2/100)
[HI] = 5.52x10^-3 M
mass no of HI = [HI] x (126.9+1) x 100 = 70.6g
is it correct?
And how to do 3bii
I GOT 3bi Kc2 = [HCl(g)]^2/ / Kc(1) [H2(g)] [Cl2(g)]

Think about it --- you've got 45 g I2 to start --- what's the largest mass of HI you can make?

6.865 = x^2 / ((45/253.8/100)-0.5x)((0.5/2/100)-0.5x)
This equation is OK?because the mole ratio of H2 to Hi is 1:2
So [HI]=x=5.33*10-4M
HI =6.813g?

The 6.865 is okay for an equilibrium constant. The notation you're using for the equation is unconventional. What're the "100s" doing in there?

100L
The volume
 
  • #6
And the HI is not also occupying that volume?
 
  • #7
Yes, but molarity = mole/volume
Does not volume is necessary?

You're using it in the denominator for hydrogen and iodine concentrations. Don't you think you should be using it in the numerator as well? After all, you did it that way when finding the equilibrium constant.

((45/253.8)/100)
??this way??

No, the way you did it for the very first step when you solved for the equilibrium constant.

What it mean...
 
  • #12
Do you see where you inserted the number "5" for five liters in the very first calculation you did? Do you see it in both numerator, HI, and denominator, H and I?

For example
14 is the mole of h2,so 14/5=2.8 which is concentration of h2, right?
OK then there is 0.5g of h2,
0.5/2=0.25mol
0.25/100=1.25*10^-3M
What wrong with me?

myvow said:
6.865 =( x^2/1002) / ((45/253.8/100)-0.5x)((0.5/2/100)-0.5x)
So, you will have x moles of HI in 100 liters. Clear?

Does numerator will not be wrong?

If you are using the 100 liter volume in the denominator, you HAVE to include it in the numerator.

I know what you mean sir
if I use (x/100)^2, .x will be the mole of HI right?
But in the numerator,did you see((0.5/2/100)-0.5x)
if x =mole, minus 0.5x
this is the mole instead of concentration
 
  • #18
Okay. We are making progress. You also need to be dividing the 0.5x by 100 if you're going to work with concentration. It is your option or choice whether to express x the amount actually reacting subtracted from the amount you begin with as just moles, or to divide by the volume and handle amounts as concentrations. The one thing you do have to do is treat reactants and products and fraction reacted all the same way, either as number of moles, or as concentrations.
 

FAQ: Is the Equilibrium Calculation for HI Correct?

What is a complex equilibrium question?

A complex equilibrium question is a question that involves multiple variables and interactions between these variables, resulting in a state of balance or equilibrium. It requires a deep understanding of the underlying principles and relationships between the variables to be answered accurately.

How is a complex equilibrium question different from a simple equilibrium question?

A simple equilibrium question typically involves only two variables and can be solved using basic principles and equations. A complex equilibrium question, on the other hand, involves multiple variables and interactions between them, making it more challenging to solve and requiring advanced knowledge and techniques.

What are some examples of complex equilibrium questions?

Examples of complex equilibrium questions include chemical equilibrium problems in chemistry, economic equilibrium problems in economics, and ecological equilibrium problems in environmental science. These questions often involve multiple variables, such as concentrations, prices, and population sizes, and require mathematical and conceptual understanding to answer.

How do you approach solving a complex equilibrium question?

To solve a complex equilibrium question, it is important to first understand the underlying principles and relationships between the variables involved. Then, you can use mathematical techniques, such as simultaneous equations or graphical analysis, to find the solution. It may also be helpful to break down the question into smaller, more manageable parts and approach each part systematically.

What skills are necessary to successfully answer a complex equilibrium question?

To successfully answer a complex equilibrium question, one must have a strong understanding of the underlying principles and relationships between the variables involved. This requires a solid foundation in the relevant subject area, as well as critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Strong mathematical skills are also necessary to manipulate equations and solve complex problems.
