[H2] = 1 mol/L [I2] = 1 mol/L [HI] = 0 At equilibrium (H2 + I2 ↔ 2HI) (Let x = moles/liter of H2 and I2 in HI form) [H2] = (1-x) mol/L [I2] = (1-x) mol/L [HI] = 2x mol/L Then, substituting the above values into the equation, you get: Correct answer B Read more at http://www.cracksat.net/sat2/chemistry/question-866-answer-and-explanation.html#yFgtRfZuWQkEgVH7.99

Dumas experiment

ratio of 1:8 by mass. This means that 1 gram of hydrogen combines with 8 grams of oxygen to form 9 grams of water. 9:1 - water to hydrogen by mass 9:8 - water to oxygen by mass synthesis of water

At the beginning of the reaction

the rate of reaction for reactents is the largest and then decreases vice versa for reactents/ at the end of a reaction
