Hydrogen flouride decomposes into hydrogen and fluorine gas. The value of K at room temperature is 1.0 x 10-95. From the value of the equilibrium constant do you think the decomposion occurs to any great extent at room temperature? If an equilibrium mixture at room temperature in a 1.0 liter vessel contains 1.0 mol of HF, what is the concentration of H2? Does this result agree with your prediction about the decomposition?
