Question

Consider the equilibrium system described by the chemical reaction below. For this reaction, Kc = 2.1 × 10³ at a certain temperature. If the equilibrium concentrations of H₂ and F₂ are both 0.0021 M, determine the concentration of HF at equilibrium. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The equilibrium reaction of H2 and F2 is given below. 

H2+F22HF

Equilibrium concentration are ratio of concentration of products to reactant and stoichiometry will come into the power of every substance so equilibrium constant expression is given below.

Kc=[HF]2[H2][F2]

Where Kc is equilibrium constant, [HF], [H2] and [F2] represent equilibrium concentration of HF, H2 and F2.
