The given word equation is:
Nitrogen trifluoride-->Nitrogen + Fluorine
The chemical formula of nitrogen trifluoride is and that of nitrogen gas is
and fluorine gas is
.
The balanced chemical equation representing the decomposition reaction of nitrogen trifluoride to nitrogen and fluorine will be,
The chemical formula of fluorine gas will be as fluorine exists as a diatomic gas in it's pure state. The coefficient of fluorine will be 3
Therefore, the correct answer is a) 3F2
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.
For example,
Hence, expression for equilibrium constant will be as follows.
Since, the concentration for a solid substance is considered as 1 or unity. Therefore, adding or removing a solid will not affect the equilibrium.
Thus, we can conclude that according to Le Châtelier’s Principle, the amount of solid reactant or product present does not have an impact on the equilibrium because the solid does not appear in the equilibrium constant, so adding or removing solid has no effect.
