This problem is describing the equilibrium whereby hydrofluoric acid decomposes to hydrogen and fluorine gases at 298 K whose equilibrium constant is 8.70x10⁻³, the equilibrium concentrations of all the reactants are both 1.33x10⁻³ M and asks for the initial concentration of hydrofluoric acid which turns out to be 2.86x10⁻³ M.
Then, we can write the following equilibrium expression for hydrofluoric acid once the change, , has taken place:
Now, since both products are 1.33x10⁻³ M we infer the reaction extent is also 1.33x10⁻³ M, and thus, we can calculate the equilibrium concentration of HF via the law of mass action (equilibrium expression):
Finally, the initial concentration of HF is calculated as follows:
