Question

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=5.30 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. question 2Consider the reaction

CO(g)+NH3(g)?HCONH2(g),    Kc=0.880

If a reaction vessel initially contains only CO and NH3 at concentrations of 1.00 M and 2.00 M, respectively, what will the concentration of HCONH2 be at equilibrium?

Explanation / Answer

2COF2(g)<--- --->CO2(g)+CF4(g)

2 0 0

2-2x x x

Kc = x^2 / [2-2x]^2

= 5.3*[2-2x]^2 = x^2

=x= 0.82 and 1.277

the value of x = 1.277 is rejected

s o the final conc of COF2 = 2- 2* 0.82 =0.36 M

2]CO(g)+NH3(g)?HCONH2(g),    Kc=0.880

1 2 0

1-x 2-x x

=0.880 = x /[1-x][2-x]

=x= 0.55

so the value HCONH2 be at equilibrium = x = 0.55 M
