Answer:

[HI] = 0.264M

Explanation:

Based on the equilibrium:

2HI(g) ⇄ H₂(g) + I₂(g)

It is possible to define Kc of the reaction as the ratio between concentration of products and reactants using coefficients of each compound, thus:

<em>Kc = 0.0156 = [H₂] [I₂] / [HI]²</em>

<em />

As initial concentration of HI is 0.660mol / 2.00L = <em>0.330M, </em>the equlibrium concentrations will be:

[HI] = 0.330M - 2X

[H₂] = X

[I₂] = X

<em>Where X is reaction coefficient.</em>

<em />

Replacing in Kc:

0.0156 = [X] [X] / [0.330M - 2X]²

0.0156 = X² / [0.1089 - 1.32X + 4X² ]

0.00169884 - 0.020592 X + 0.0624 X² = X²

0.00169884 - 0.020592 X - 0.9376 X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = - 0.055 → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.0330 → Right solution.

Replacing in HI formula:

[HI] = 0.330M - 2×0.033M

<h3>[HI] = 0.264M</h3>

Blood ph is kept near a value of 7.3 - 7.5 because of
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:  Neutral Value

Explanation:  pH of the blood is maintained at 7.0 to 7.5that is neutral value.

This is because if the pH of the is lower than the maintained value then it will become acidic .

Acidic pH can cause the medical urgency known as acidosis leading to vomiting, diarrhea etc.

If the pH becomes higher, then the blood will become basic in nature and it can also leas to the death of the person.

That is why the pH of the blood is maintianed at neutral value of 7.0 to 7.5
