2HI (g) ⇌ H2 (g) + I2 (g)
Kp = 83 at 723 K
A mixture of HI (g), H2 (g), and I2 (g) is placed in a sealed, rigid container at 723 K.
After equilibrium is established, the pressure inside the container is halved while the temperature is held constant at 723 K.
Which of the following will most likely occur?
The partial pressure of HI (g) will remain constant.
The forward reaction is favored.
Kp will increase.
The reverse reaction is favored.
