This is because some Richer scales are programed or made differently in the factory therefore effecting ones ability to scale an Earth Quake

The Richter scale tells the amount of force that is needed to create the waves and that is used in the moment magnitude scale.
It's kind of like measuring the weight of an object to find the density, it isn't all the information you need.

Answer:

the equilibrium concentration of HF is 2.85 M

Option a) 2.85 M is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

     H₂         +      F₂      ⇄     2HF

I    1.69 M        1.69 M           0

C    -x                 -x               +2x

E    1.69-x         1.69-x          +2x

given that Kc = 115        

Kc = [ HF ]² / [H₂][F₂]

we substitute

115 = [ 2x ]² / [ 1.69-x  ][ 1.69-x ]

lets find the square root of both sides

10.7238 = 2x / [ 1.69-x  ]

10.7238[ 1.69-x  ] = 2x

18.123222 - 10.7238x = 2x

2x + 10.7238x = 18.123222

12.7238x = 18.123222

x = 18.123222 / 12.7238

x = 1.424356

Hence, equilibrium concentration of HF = 2x

that is;

HF = 2 × 1.424356

HF = 2.8487 ≈ 2.85 M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of HF is 2.85 M

Option a) 2.85 M is the correct answer.
