Let's walk through the problem step-by-step and solve for the equilibrium pressures.

Given:

• Reaction:
  $I_2(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \, ICl(g)$
• Equilibrium constant: $K_p = 81.9$
• Initial pressures:
  $P_{I_2} = 0.325 \, \text{atm}$
  $P_{Cl_2} = 0.325 \, \text{atm}$
  $P_{ICl} = 0.380 \, \text{atm}$

We need to calculate the equilibrium pressures of each gas.

Step 1: Define changes in pressure at equilibrium

Since the system is at equilibrium, let’s introduce a variable $x$ representing the change in pressure. The reaction consumes 1 mol each of $I_2$ and $Cl_2$, and produces 2 mols of ICl.

Thus, the pressures at equilibrium will be:

• $P_{I_2} = 0.325 - x$
• $P_{Cl_2} = 0.325 - x$
• $P_{ICl} = 0.380 + 2x$

Step 2: Write the equilibrium expression for $K_p$

$K_p = \frac{(P_{ICl})^2}{(P_{I_2})(P_{Cl_2})}$

At equilibrium, substitute the expressions for the pressures: $81.9 = \frac{(0.380 + 2x)^2}{(0.325 - x)(0.325 - x)}$

Step 3: Solve for $x$

First, expand both the numerator and the denominator.

• Numerator:
  $(0.380 + 2x)^2 = 0.1444 + 1.52x + 4x^2$

• Denominator:
  $(0.325 - x)^2 = 0.105625 - 0.65x + x^2$

Now, substitute these into the equilibrium expression: $81.9 = \frac{0.1444 + 1.52x + 4x^2}{0.105625 - 0.65x + x^2}$

Step 4: Simplify and solve the quadratic equation

Rearrange the equation to bring all terms to one side. This step involves quite a bit of algebra, but once you simplify it, you’ll get a quadratic equation in terms of $x$. Use the quadratic formula:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Step 5: Calculate equilibrium pressures

Once you solve for $x$, substitute it back into:

• $P_{I_2} = 0.325 - x$
• $P_{Cl_2} = 0.325 - x$
• $P_{ICl} = 0.380 + 2x$
