Question

Consider the reaction . At equilibrium, a 10 L vessel contains 1.5 moles of HI, 0.1 moles of I2 and 0.3 moles of H2. Which direction will the reaction proceed if 2 moles of HI, and 0.5 moles of both I2 and H2 are mixed in a separate 10 L vessel

Answer 1

The reaction will proceed in the forward direction if 2 moles of HI and 0.5 moles of both $I_2$  and $H_2$  are mixed in a separate 10 L vessel.

What is equilibrium?

In chemistry, equilibrium is the condition existing when a chemical reaction and its reverse reaction occur at equal rates.

If K > Q, a reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into products. If K < Q, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, converting products into reactants. If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium.

In the first case K < Q, but in the second case K > Q, so the reaction will proceed forward in the forward direction.
