Q3. At 298 K, F3SSF(g) decomposes partially to SF2(g). At equilibrium, the partial pressure of SF2(g) is 1.1X10-4 atm and the partial pressure of F3SSF is 0.0484 atm. (a) Write a balanced equilibrium equation to represent this reaction. (b) Compute the equilibrium constant corresponding to the equation you wrote. (c) Some SF2 (at a partial pressure of 2.3X10-4 atm) is placed in a closed container at 298 K with some F3SSF (at a partial pressure of 0.0484 atm). Enough argon is added to raise the total pressure to 1.000 atm. Calculate the initial reaction quotient for the decomposition of F3SSF to SF2.

Q3. At 298 K, F3SSF(g) decomposes partially to SF2(g). At equilibrium, the partial pressure of SF2(g) is 1.1X10-4 atm and the partial pressure of F3SSF is 0.0484 atm.

(a) Write a balanced equilibrium equation to represent this reaction.

(b) Compute the equilibrium constant corresponding to the equation you wrote.

(c) Some SF2 (at a partial pressure of 2.3X10-4 atm) is placed in a closed container at 298 K with some F3SSF (at a partial pressure of 0.0484 atm). Enough argon is added to raise the total pressure to 1.000 atm. Calculate the initial reaction quotient for the decomposition of F3SSF to SF2.
