(N/A) The reaction is $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$.
Let $x$ be the moles of $H_2$ and $I_2$ reacted at equilibrium.
Initial moles: $[H_2] = 0.5$,$[I_2] = 0.5$,$[HI] = 0$.
Equilibrium moles: $[H_2] = 0.5 - x$,$[I_2] = 0.5 - x$,$[HI] = 2x$.
$K_c = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]} = \frac{(2x)^2}{(0.5-x)(0.5-x)} = 50$.
Taking the square root: $\frac{2x}{0.5-x} = \sqrt{50} = 7.071$.
$2x = 3.5355 - 7.071x \implies 9.071x = 3.5355 \implies x = 0.39$.
Moles of $I_2$ remaining = $0.5 - 0.39 = 0.11 \ mol$.
Since $\Delta n_g = 2 - (1+1) = 0$,$K_p = K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g} = K_c(RT)^0 = K_c$.
Therefore,$K_p = 50$.
