Answer

$ [ HI ] = 0.0152 \space M $ $ [ I_2 ] = 0.00328 \space M $

Work Step by Step

1. Calculate all the concentrations: $$[HI] = ( 0.0244 )/(1.50) = 0.0163 M$$ $$[H_2] = ( 0.00623 )/(1.50) = 0.00415 M$$ $$[I_2] = ( 0.00414 )/(1.50) = 0.00276 M$$ 2. Draw the ICE table for this equilibrium: $$\begin{vmatrix} Compound& [ HI ]& [ H_2 ]& [ I_2 ]\\ Initial& 0.0163 & 0.00415 & 0.00276 \\ Change& -2 x& +x& +x\\ Equilibrium& 0.0163 -2 x& 0.00415 +x& 0.00276 +x\\ \end{vmatrix}$$ $ [ HI ] = 0.0163 \space M - 2x$ $ [ H_2 ] = 0.00415 \space M + x$ $ [ I_2 ] = 0.00276 \space M + x$ 3. Using the concentration of $ H_2 $ at equilibrium, find x: $ 0.00415 + x = 0.00467 $ $ x = 0.00467 - 0.00415 $ $x = 5.20 \times 10^{-4} $ $ [ HI ] = 0.0163 \space M - 2*( 5.20 \times 10^{-4} ) = 0.0152 $ $ [ I_2 ] = 0.00276 \space M + 5.20 \times 10^{-4} =3.28 \times 10^{-3} $
