KVPY2011ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
At 783 ~K in the reaction H ₂( ~g )+ I ₂( ~g ) 2 HI ( g ) , the molar concentrations ( mol ⁻¹ . ) of H ₂, I ₂ and HI at some instant of time are 0.1,0.2 and 0.4 , respectively. If the equilibrium constant is 46 at the same temperature, then as the reaction proceeds
Options
- Athe amount of HI will increase
- Bthe amount of HI will decrease
- Cthe amount of H ₂ and I ₂ will increase
- Dthe amount of H ₂ and I ₂ will not change
Correct answer
A. the amount of HI will increase
Step-by-step solution
Reaction quotient array l Q = [ HI ]² [ H ₂ ] [ I ₂ ] = 0.4 0.4 0.1 0.2 Q =8 Q < K array So reaction will proceeds in forward direction. Hence amount of HI increases.
