Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an important intermediate used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. For instance, it

is used to make the refrigerant carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 via the reaction 2COF2(g)⇌CO2(g)+CF4(g), Kc=8.30 If only COF2 is present initially at a concentration of 2.00 M, what concentration of COF2 remains at equilibrium? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

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".

Kc=8.30=\frac{[CO_{2}] \times [CF_{4}] }{[COF_{2}]^{2} } =\frac{x^{2} }{(2.00-2x)^{2} } \\8.30=(\frac{x}{2.00-2x} )^{2} \\\sqrt{8.30} =\frac{x}{2.00-2x}\\5.76-5.76x=x\\x=0.852

The concentration of COF₂ at equilibrium is 2.00 -2x = 2.00 - 2 × 0.852 = 0.296 M

What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left?
Alona [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Increasing temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Principle of Le Chatelier states that <u>if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. </u>

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

  • Temperature
  • The pressure
  • The volume
  • The concentration of reactants or products

In the case of the reaction in the question, <u>the change that moves the balance to the left will be the one that moves it towards the reagents</u>, that is, that favors the production of reagents instead of products.

  • Decreasing the concentration of SO3 and increasing the concentration of SO2 <u>will favor the production of SO3</u>, which is the product of the reaction.
  • Decreasing the volume increases the pressure of the system and the balance will move to where there is less number of moles. In the case of the reaction in question, we have 3 moles of molecules in the reactants (1 mole of O2 + 2 moles of SO2) while in the products there are 2 moles of SO3 only, therefore, <u>decreasing the volume will displace the balance to the right</u>, which corresponds to the sense in which there is less number of moles.

The reaction of the question is an exothermic since ΔH <0, therefore in the reaction heat is produced and it can be written in the following way,

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) + heat

  • So, if we increase the temperature we will be adding heat to the system, so the balance would move to the left to compensate for the excess heat in the system.

How do you represent a shared pair of electrons when drawing the Lewis structure of a covalent bond
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: Each pair of shared electrons is a covalent bond which can be represented by a dash.

Explanation:

In a Lewis dot structure, the central atom can share electrons through bonds with the surrounding atoms, and this can look like a dash between the atoms.

Answer:

340 N

Explanation:

<u>Force formula</u>

The force formula is defined by Newton's second law of motion: Force exerted by an object equals mass times acceleration of that object: F = m ⨉ a. To use this formula, you need to use SI units: Newtons for force, kilograms for mass, and meters per second squared for acceleration.

<u>Equilibrium</u>

It is a state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces. equal balance between any powers, influences, etc.; equality of effect. mental or emotional balance; equanimity: The pressures of the situation caused her to lose her equilibrium.<u> </u>
