H2+I2<=>2HIH_2+I_2<=>2HI

Let aa moles of H2H_2 react with 1mol1mol of I2I_2

At equilibrium, after 90%90\% dissociation of H2H_2 K=[HI]2[H2][I2]=(1.8a)20.1a×(10.9a)=50K=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}=\frac{(1.8a)^2}{0.1a\times(1-0.9a)}=50

On solving the above equation we get a=0.6459a=0.6459

Hence moles of H2H_2 required=0.6459mol=0.6459mol
