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=8.90 if only cof2 is present initially at a concentration of 2.00 m, what concentration of cof2 remains at equilibrium?

    Answer is:concentration of COF₂ remains at equilibrium is 0,503 M.

    Chemical reaction: 2COF₂ ⇄ CO₂ + CF₄.

    c₀ (COF₂) = 2,00 M.

    Kc = 8,90.

    [CO₂] = [CF₄] = x; equilibrium concentration.

    From chemical reaction: n (COF₂) : n (CO₂) = 2 : 1.

    [COF₂] = 2 · [CO₂] = 2x

    Kc = [CO₂] · [CF₄] / [COF₂]².

    Kc = x² / (2-x) ².

    8,9 = x² / (2-x) ², square root formula.

    2,98 = x / 2-x.

    5,96 - 2,98x = x.

    x = 1,497 M.

    [COF₂] = 2,00 M - 1,497 M = 0,503 M.
