have the same rate.

PH 2 PI 2 (0.2) 2
Kp = = = 0.0277
PHI2 1.2 2
(Note: The 1.6 atm refers to equilibrium pressure. This is because it is only
at equilibrium then we do know that 25% is decomposed. Hence, 300 oC
and 1.6 atm refers to equilibrium conditions.)
Since V is constant, P α n
Percentage decomposition = [(0.1169 x 2) / 1.2 ] x 100% = 11.2%
(Note: The 1.2 and 0.4 atm in the question does not refer to equilibrium
partial pressure. This is because it will imply that the total pressure will be
greater than 1.6 atm (as H2 must have a partial pressure). This implies that
n will have to increase for P to increase, since T and V are constants. But,
the reaction does not increase number of gas particles. Therefore, the
values in the question are not equilibrium partial pressure.)

Increasing temperature.
Equilibrium will shift to the right.
Forward reaction is favoured because it is endothermic.
This is equilibrium response to increasing temperature as it tries to
remove the heat from the increasing temperature.
At new equilibrium the amount of H2 and I2 increase while HI decreases.
