The following chemical reaction is given regarding the formation of hydrogen iodide: H2(g)+I2(g)⇌2HI(g). It is found that initially there is only hydrogen and iodine gas in the container. At equilibrium it is found that the partial pressure of HI is 0.6 atm and the equilibrium constant is 45. What is the starting partial pressure for both hydrogen and iodide?
