Answer:
The correct answer would be A.
Earthquakes are less likely to occur when you're not living near a plate boundary
I think its most likely to be A,
Answer:
(B) 0.038 M
Explanation:
Kc = [H2][I2]/[HI]^2
Let the equilibrium concentration of H2 be y M
From the equation of reaction, mole ratio of H2 to I2 formed is 1:1, therefore equilibrium concentration of I2 is also y M
Also, from the equation of reaction, mole ratio of HI consumed to H2 formed is 2:1, therefore equilibrium concentration of HI is (1 - 2y) M
1.6×10^-3 = y×y/(1 - 2y)^2
y^2/1-4y+4y^2 = 0.0016
y^2 = 0.0016(1-4y+4y^2)
y^2 = 0.0016 - 0.0064y + 0.0064y^2
y^2-0.0064y^2+0.0064y-0.0016 = 0
0.9936y^2 + 0.0064y - 0.0016 = 0
The value of y must be positive and is obtained by using the quadratic formula
y = [-0.0064 + sqrt(0.0064^2 - 4×0.9936×-0.0016)] ÷ 2(0.9936) = 0.0736 ÷ 1.9872 = 0.038 M
