For 1: The value of for above reaction is 36.83

For 2: The value of for above reaction is 36.83

For 3: The equilibrium partial pressure of Indium is 0.126 atm

For 4: The equilibrium partial pressure of hydrogen gas is 0.094 atm

For 5: The equilibrium partial pressure of Indium dihydrogen is 0.018 atm

Explanation:

We are given:

Partial pressure of Indium gas = 0.0650 atm

Partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 0.0330 atm

Partial pressure of Indium dihydride = 0.0790 atm

The given chemical equation follows:

Initial:               0.065     0.033           0.079

At eqllm:       0.065-x   0.033-x       0.079+x

The expression of for above reaction follows:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the value of for above reaction is 36.83

We are given:

of the reaction = 1.48

There are 3 conditions:

As, for the given reaction, the reaction is reactant favored.

Hence, the reaction proceed in the backward direction to attain equilibrium

The expression of for above reaction follows:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Neglecting the value of x = 0.835 because the reaction is going backwards. So, by taking this value, the pressure of the reactants will decrease

So, equilibrium partial pressure of Indium = (0.065 - x) = [0.065 - (-0.061)] = 0.126 atm

The equilibrium partial pressure of hydrogen gas = (0.033 - x) = [0.033 - (-0.061)] = 0.094 atm

The equilibrium partial pressure of Indium dihydrogen = (0.079 + x) = [0.079 + (-0.061)] = 0.018 atm
