Mass cannot be used as a property to identidy a sample of matter because it is an extensive property which depends on the amount of matter in a sample, not the tupe of matter it is.

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

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 concentrations or changes in concentration 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".

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