Question 10 of 14

1

Hydrogen and iodine react in a closed vessel to form hydrogen iodide.
H2 + I2 2HI
at 350oC, Kc = 60
at 445oC, Kc = 47

Select one of the following:

  • Increased temperature as the forward reaction is exothermic, and increased pressure as there are two gaseous reactants and only one gaseous product

  • Increased temperature as the forward reaction is endothermic, and pressure has no effect as there are equal amounts, in mol, of gaseous reactants and products

  • Decreased temperature as the forward reaction is exothermic, and decreased pressure as there are 2 moles of gaseous product but only 1 mole of each gaseous reactant

  • Decreased temperature as the forward reaction is exothermic, and pressure has no effect as there are equal amounts, in mol, of gaseous reactants and products

Explanation
