CHEMICALKINETIC-QN09


The following shows the reaction between hydrogen and iodine gases to form hydrogen iodide gas.

H2 + I2⇌ 2HI+ Heat

Explain what happens to the position of equilibrium if: -

i) The temperature is increased?

ii) The pressure is lowered

iii) Hydrogen iodide is pumped into the system.


  • Soln:


    i) When the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium will favor forward reaction.

    ii) When the pressure is the lowered, the position of equilibrium will favor either forward or backward direction.

    iii. When Hydrogen iodide is pumped into the system; the position of equilibrium will favor at backward direction.
