So this is my last question on my hw and I spent like 2 hours on this one problem and I cannot figure it out. I tried google and found these two links:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080501200654AAgYX37
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080502202336AAJsb3h
I followed both websites step by step and got .490909 but I forgot that mine is 10 liters and theirs is 1 liter. So I changed it to .0490909 but it's still wrong. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and if anyone out there is good at chemistry can help me out would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the Question:
An error in the code for this problem was fixed at 1 PM on F, 12/4/2009. Sorry about that.
11. [2pt]
At a particular temperature assume that the equilibrium constant for the reaction:
H2(g) + F2(g) <==> 2HF(g)
is K = 100.0. A reaction mixture in a 10.00 liter flask contains 3.9 moles each of hydrogen and fluorine gases plus 1.5 moles of HF. What will be the concentration of hydrogen when this mixture reaches equilibrium?
Answer: Last Answer: .07 M
Incorrect, tries 30/99.
Hint: First you will need to determine which direction the reaction must go. Then solve as usual. The `x' you solve for will probably be the CHANGE in concentration, not the final concentration.

[H2]=0.0775 Mol/L
Heh, chemistry major, gotta' go with the sweet name.

^he'll finish the problem before me, but lol @ name.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. WHAT DO YOU WANT A CAR?? SPENT LIKE 2 HOURS ON THIS AND U JUST DO IT IN 5 MINUTES..guess whatever they did in the two links is wrong? How did you get the answer? And thanks again wow.

Do you know the I.C.E. Method?
(Initial, Change, Equilibrium..)
Thats how my teacher taught us, and it works pretty easily

Sorry, messed up my edit and double posted. Real post below.

I used an 'ICE chart', I'll post it.
H2 + F2 <==> 2HF K=100.0=([HF]^2)/([H2][F2])
3.9mol 3.9mol 1.5mol (Now divide by 10.00L to get molar)
Initial 0.39M 0.39M .15M
Change -x -x +2x (One mole of H2 and F2 produces 2 moles of HF, K=100, so the reaction will probably go to the right, you could find Q, but this is less work)
Equil. 0.39-x 0.39-x 0.15+2x
Set up K=100.0=([0.15+2x]^2)/([0.39-x][0.39-x])
I solved on my graphic calculator (no approximations), x =0.3125, so [H2] = 0.39-x=0.0775

wow you guys are very intelligent XD

This is like grade 11 chemistry - hopefully not for a university level course?

He goes to Texas A&M and is a softmore if I remember correctly.
Or whichever Texas A&M's rival school is.
