3.18 M

Explanation:

Given data

[H₂]eq = [I₂]eq = 0.450 M

[HI]eq = ?

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

H₂ (g) + I₂ (g) ⇄ 2 HI (g) Kc (400°C) = 50.0

The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is:

Kc = [HI]²eq / [H₂]eq * [I₂]eq

[HI]²eq = Kc * [H₂]eq * [I₂]eq

[HI]eq = √ (Kc * [H₂]eq * [I₂]eq)

[HI]eq = √ (50.0 * 0.450 * 0.450)

[HI]eq = 3.18 M
