For the following reaction, the partial pressures are listed in the table:

Question

Substance Equlibrium
H2S 5.4
I2 1.2
HI 0.43
S 7

If the Kp of the reaction is 0.134, which direction would the reaction need to go to establish equilibrium?

H2S(g) + I2(s) <--> 2HI(g) + S(s)

Answer 1

Calculate Qp and compare with Kp.

Answer 2

So is the answer that Qp and Kp are equal?

Answer 3

at equilibrium, they are equal

Answer 4

Now there are two roberts. Palm to face

Answer 5

The correct answer is: "Since Q<Kp, the reaction must proceed to the right."

Answer 6

since Q>Kp, the reaction must proceed to the left APEX
