57.78

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the equilibrium constant value Kp at a particular temperature.

To do this, we firstly need to write the correct expression for the equilibrium constant. We do this as follows;

Kp = [HI]^2 / ([I2][H2]

Kp = (5.59) ^2 / (0.747*0.724)

Kp = 31.2481/0.5408

Kp = 57.78
