Answer:
Kc = 0.075
Explanation:
The dissociation (α) is the initial quantity that ionized divided by the total dissolved. So, let's calling x the ionized quantity, and M the initial one:
α = x/M
x = M*α
x = 0.354M
For the stoichiometry of the reaction (2:1:1), the concentration of H₂ and I₂ must be half of the acid. So the equilibrium table must be:
2HI(g) ⇄ H₂(g) + I₂(g)
M 0 0 <em> Initial</em>
-0.354M +0.177M +0.177M <em>Reacts</em>
0.646M 0.177M 0.177M <em>Equilibrium</em>
The equilibrium constant Kc is the multiplication of the products' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients) divided by the multiplication of the reactants' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients):
Kc = 0.075
