When the equilibrium expression is written for the reaction
N₂(g) + 3F₂(g)
2NF₃(g)
What is the exponent of the concentration of fluorine,F₂?

Question

When the equilibrium expression is written for the reaction N₂(g)+ 3F₂(g) 2NF₃(g) What is the exponent of the concentration of fluorine,F₂?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The exponent is determined by the stoichiometric coefficient of fluorine in the balanced equation, which is 3. Therefore, the exponent of the concentration of fluorine, F₂, is 3. The equilibrium expression is Kc = [NF₃] /[N₂][F₂]3.
