Assume that gaseous hydrogen iodide is synthesized from hydrogen gas and iodine vapor at a temperature where the equilibrium constant is 1.00 x 10^2. Suppose HI at 5.000 x 10^-1 atm, H2 at 1.000 x 10^-2 atm, and I2 at 5.000 x10^-3 atm are mixed in a 5.000-L flask. Calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.
What is the value of Q for this system?
Q= (P HI)^2/(P H2)(P I2) = (5.000x10^-1atm)^2/(1.000x10^-2atm)(5.000x10^-3atm) =5.000x10^3
