SUMMARY
At 350 degrees Celsius, the equilibrium constant (K) for the reaction involving hydrogen iodide (HI), hydrogen (H2), and iodine (I2) is established at 70. The equilibrium concentrations are given as 1.32 mol/L for HI and 0.100 mol/L for H2. To find the concentration of I2, one must utilize the equilibrium expression derived from the equilibrium constant, which is K = [HI]^2 / ([H2][I2]). Solving this expression confirms that the concentration of I2 is 0.32 mol/L.
