?
In an experiment involving the reaction shown above, a sample of pure HI was placed inside a rigid container at a certain temperature. The table above provides the initial and equilibrium concentrations for some of the substances in the reaction. Based on the data, which of the following is the value of the equilibrium constant (Keq) for the reaction, and why?
a. Keq=2.5×10−1, because [I2]eq=2×[HI]eq.
b. Keq=6.3×10−2, because [I2]eq=1/2[HI]eq.
c. Keq=1.6×10−2 , because [I2]eq=[H2]eq . d.Keq=3.1×10−2,because [I2]eq=2×[H2]eq.
