Answer #1

Given : initial concentration of I2 = 0.1 M

initial concentration of I- = 0.1 M

equilibrium concentration of I2 = 0.01 M

ICE Table I2 I- I3-
Initial 0.1 M 0.1 M 0
Change -x -x +x
Equilibrium 0.1 M - x 0.1 M - x +x

equilibrium concentration of I2 = 0.1 M - x = 0.01 M

x = 0.1 M - 0.01 M

x = 0.09 M

equilibrium concentration of I- = 0.1 M - x

equilibrium concentration of I- = 0.1 M - 0.09 M

equilibrium concentration of I- = 0.01 M

equilibrium concentration of I3- = x

equilibrium concentration of I3- = 0.09 M

concentration equilibrium constant, Kc = [I3-]eq / [I2]eq[I-]eq

Kc = (0.09 M) / (0.01 M) * (0.01 M)

Kc = 900
