SOLUTION:
(a) The reference equation is multiplied by 1/3, so Kc(ref) will
be to the 1/3 power.
Kc = [Kc(ref)]1/3 = (2.4x10-3)1/3 = 0.13
(b) The reference equation is reversed and halved, so Kc(ref)
is to the -1/2 power.
Kc = [Kc(ref)]-1/2 = (2.4x10-3)-1/2 = 20.

Let x be the amount of [H2] at equilibrium. Then x will
also be the concentration of [I2] and the change in of [HI]
will be the original concentration minus the stoichiometric
amount that reacted, 2x, or 0.078M.

Le Chateliers Principle
When a chemical system at equilibrium is subjected
to a stress, the system will return to equilibrium by
shifting to reduce the stress.
If the concentration increases, the system reacts to
consume some of it.
If the concentration decreases, the system reacts to
produce some of it.
