Consider the Following Reaction

question 2

Multiple Choice

Consider the following reaction:
2HF(g)
H₂(g) + F₂(g) (K = 1.00 × 10^-2)
Given 1.18 mol of HF(g) , 0.880 mol of H₂(g) , and 1.03 mol of F₂(g) are mixed in a 3.00-L flask, determine the reaction quotient, Q, and the net direction to achieve equilibrium.

• A) Q = 0.651; the equilibrium shifts to the right.
• B) Q =0.768; the equilibrium shifts to the left.
• C) Q = 0.768; the equilibrium shifts to the right.
• D) Q = 0.651; the equilibrium shifts to the left.
• E) Q = 1.17; the system is at equilibrium.
