At 500 degree C, F_2 gas is stable and does not dissociate, but at 840 degree C, some dissociation occurs: F_2 (g) 2 F(g). A flask filled with 0.600 atm of F_2 at 500 degree C was heated to 840 degree C, and the pressure at equilibrium was measured to be 0.984 atm. What is the equilibrium constant K_p for the dissociation of F_2 gas at 840 degree C?

2.73 is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of gas at 840 degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Initial

0.600 atm    0

Equilibrium

(0.600 atm - p)        2p

Total pressure at equilibrium = P = 0.984 atm

P= 0.600 atm - p)+2p=0.984 atm

p = 0.384 atm

Partial pressure of the gas , = (0.600 atm - 0.384 atm)=0.216 atm

Partial pressure of the gas, = 2(0.384 atm)=0.768 atm

2.73 is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of gas at 840 degree Celsius.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

im not exactly sure but i think its b!
