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=6.30
If only COF2 is present initially at a concentration of 2.00 M, what concentration of COF2 remains at equilibrium?
Kc= 6.30
2 Co F2(g) -------- Co2 (g)+ CF4(g)
intial 2.00 x x
at equilibrium 2.00-2x +X +X
hence Kc = [ Co2] [CF4]
---------------------------
[ CoF2]2
6.3 = X x X
-------------------
( 2.00-2x)
the value of x =0.83
the concentration of CoF2 at equilibrium is = 2.00- 2X
= 2.00- 2(8.33)= 2.00-1.66= 0.334 M - ans
