This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Suppose a 500 mL flask is filled with 0.30 mol of I₂ and 0.60 mol of HI . The following reaction becomes possible:

[tex]H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)[/tex]

The equilibrium constant K for this reaction is 0.282 at the temperature of the flask. Calculate the equilibrium molarity of H₂. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer : The equilibrium molarity of H₂ is, 0.2 M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of [tex]I_2\text{ and }HI[/tex]

[tex]\text{Concentration of }I_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }I_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}=\frac{0.30mol}{0.500L}=0.15M[/tex]

and,

[tex]\text{Concentration of }HI=\frac{\text{Moles of }HI}{\text{Volume of solution}}=\frac{0.60mol}{0.500L}=0.30M[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the equilibrium molarity of H₂.

The given chemical reaction is:

                        [tex]H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)[/tex]

Initial conc.    0       0.15             0.30

At eqm.         x      (0.15+x)        (0.30-2x)

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

[tex]K=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

[tex]0.282=\frac{(0.30-x)^2}{(x)\times (0.15+x)}[/tex]

x = 0.174 M and x = 0.721 M

We are neglecting the value of x = 0.721 because the equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, the value of x = 0.174 M ≈ 0.2 M

The equilibrium molarity of H₂ = x = 0.2 M
