Question
### Hydrofluoric Acid Synthesis

Hydrofluoric acid is important in both pharmaceutical synthesis and the synthesis of Teflon. It can be produced by reacting hydrogen gas (H₂) with fluorine gas (F₂) as follows:

\[ \text{H}_2(g) + \text{F}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{HF}(g) \]

If you ran the reaction with initial concentrations of \(\text{H}_2\) and \(\text{F}_2 = 2.00 \, \text{M}\), what would the concentration of HF be at equilibrium? The equilibrium constant (\(K_c\)) is 115.

**Options:**

- a. 3.37 M
- b. 0.85 M
- c. 1.69 M
- d. 4.00 M
- e. 2.85 M

In this question, you are required to determine the concentration of hydrofluoric acid (HF) at equilibrium given the initial concentrations of the reactants and the equilibrium constant.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The reaction taking place is given as,

=> H2 (g) + F2 (g) --------> 2 HF (g)                                                 Kc = 115 

Given : Initial concentration of F2 = 2.00 M 

And Initial concentration of H2 = 2.00 M
