Question

1.The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction of hydrogen with iodine is 54.0 at 700 K.
#H2(g) + 12(g) = 2 HI(g)
#Kc= 54.0 at 700 K
a. If kf is the rate constant for the formation of HI and kr is the rate constant for the decomposition of
HI, deduce whether kf is larger or smaller than kr.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction of hydrogen with iodine is 54.0 at 700 K.

#H2(g) + 12(g) = 2 HI(g)

#Kc= 54.0 at 700 K

a. If kf is the rate constant for the formation of HI and kr is the rate constant for the decomposition of

HI, deduce whether kf is larger or smaller than kr.
