21 This question concerns the reaction of hydrogen with iodine to form hydrogen iodide at 700 K. H2(g) + I2(g) (cid:85) 2HI(g) (cid:507)H = 10 kJ mol1 (a) (i) Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, Kp, for this reaction. *(ii) 1 mol of hydrogen was mixed with 1 mol of iodine in a sealed container and left to reach equilibrium at 700 K. The total pressure was 5 atm. At equilibrium, the amount of iodine remaining was 0.21 mol. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas at equilibrium. Use the partial pressures to calculate the value of Kp, stating its units, if any. (1) (5) Kp =units*P42992A02128* 21 Turn over<br />
 (b) State the effect of increasing the pressure on the equilibrium position. Justify your answer by using the equation: H2(g) + I2(g) (cid:85) 2HI(g) (cid:507)H = 10 kJ mol1 (1)(c) (i) Explain how increasing the temperature affects the value of (cid:507)Stotal of this reaction. Assume that (cid:507)Ssystem does not change when the temperature increases. (2)*(ii) Use your answer to (c)(i) to explain the effect of an increase in temperature on the value of Kp and the equilibrium yield of hydrogen iodide.
