Answer:
The concentration of COF₂ at equilibrium is 0.296 M.
Explanation:
To solve this equilibrium problem we use an ICE Table. In this table, we recognize 3 stages: Initial(I), Change(C) and Equilibrium(E). In each row we record the <em>concentrations</em> or <em>changes in concentration</em> in that stage. For this reaction:
2 COF₂(g) ⇌ CO₂(g) + CF₄(g)
I 2.00 0 0
C -2x +x +x
E 2.00 - 2x x x
Then, we replace these equilibrium concentrations in the Kc expression, and solve for "x".
The concentration of COF₂ at equilibrium is 2.00 -2x = 2.00 - 2 × 0.852 = 0.296 M
