Detailed Solution

large {I_2}left( {aq} right) + {I^ - }left( {aq} right) rightleftharpoons I_3^ - left( {aq} right)

Initial moles of I2 = 2

Initial moles of I - = 2

Volume of the vessel = 1 litre

Yellow ppt formed by the addition of AgNO3 is AgI

Number moles of AgI precepitated at equilibrium = 1.75

large therefore

number of moles of I- at equilibrium = 1.75

Number of moles of I- reacted = (2 -1.75) = 0.25

According to stoichiometry

1 mole of I2 reacts with 1 mole of I-

x mole of I2 reacts with 0.25 moles of I-

large therefore boxed{x = 0.25}

Similarly moles of 

large I_3^ -

formed due to the reaction of 0.25 moles each of I2 & I- will 0.25

 
large {I_2}left( {aq} right)
large {I^-}left( {aq} right)
large rightleftharpoons
large I_3^ - left( {aq} right)
Initial moles22 -
Moles at equilibrium(2 - 0.25)(2 - 0.25) 0.25
Equilibrium concentration
large frac{{1.75}}{1}
large frac{{1.75}}{1}
 
large frac{{0.25}}{1}
large {K_C} = frac{{left[ {I_3^ - } right]}}{{left[ {{I_2}} right]left[ {{I^ - }} right]}}
large {K_C} = frac{{0.25}}{{1.75 times 1.75}}
large {K_C} = frac{{left( {frac{1}{4}} right)}}{{left( {frac{7}{4}} right)left( {frac{7}{4}} right)}}
large {K_C} = frac{4}{{49}}
