How do I align Font Awesome icons to the right?

I'm trying text-align: right in my CSS, but text-align is not moving it for some reason. I want the website title left aligned and the icon right aligned on the same line. Here's what I am trying.

JS Fiddle

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.13/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-DNOHZ68U8hZfKXOrtjWvjxusGo9WQnrNx2sqG0tfsghAvtVlRW3tvkXWZh58N9jp" crossorigin="anonymous">

<div class="top-container">
    <h2>Website Title</h2>

    <i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
</div>

CSS

body {
  margin: 0;
}

.top-container {
    padding: 20px;
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
    font-size: 2em;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.top-container i {
    color: red;
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: right;
}

.top-container h2 {
    display: inline-block;
}

h2 {
  margin-top: 10px;
}

The display must be changed for text-align to apply

  .myClass {
      display: block;
      text-align: right;
    }

Can use either pull-right or align-right or float-right

<a class="btn btn-lg btn-success" href="#">
  <i class="fa fa-flag fa-2x pull-left"></i> Font Awesome<br>Version 4.7.0</a>

    <a class="btn btn-default" href="#">
        <i class="fa fa-align-right" title="Align Right"></i>
      </a>

Make a custom Id to the element --> <i class="fal fa-phone" id="customfa"></i>
Head to your CSS file and right these -->

#customfa{right: 10%;} You can use right, left , top and bottom attributes.

text-align will align the text within the element which you are assigning it to, which doesn't do anything in an inline-block element like this (since that's just as wide as its contents). Use float: right; instead of text-align: right

If text-align: right is not working, try float: right.
