 SOLVING EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS
•
• Suppose that for a synthesis of hydrogen fluoride from hydrogen
and fluorine, 3.000 moles of H2 and 6.000 moles of F2 are mixed in
a 3.000-L flask. The equilibrium constant for the synthesis reaction
at this temperature is 1.15×10-2. Calculate the equilibrium
concentration of each component
• SOLUTION:
Concentration
Initial 1.00 2.00 0
Change -x -x 2x
Equilibrium 1.00 – x 2.00 – x 2x
