Answer:

a. [tex]H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl[/tex]

b. K = 192.9

c. Products are favored.

Explanation:

Hello!

a. In this case, according to the unbalanced chemical reaction we need to balance HCl as shown below:

[tex]H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl[/tex]

In order to reach 2 hydrogen and chlorine atoms at both sides.

b. Here, given the concentrations at equilibrium and the following equilibrium expression, we have:

[tex]K=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}[/tex]

Therefore, we plug in the data to obtain:

[tex]K=\frac{(0.0625)^2}{(0.00450)(0.00450)}\\\\K=192.9[/tex]

c. Finally, we infer that since K>>1 the forward reaction towards products is favored.
