Answer

(a) $F$ concentration increases and $F_2$ concentration decreases. (b) $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ concentrations increase and $CH_4$ concentration decreases.

Work Step by Step

Increasing the volume of the container shifts the equilibrium toward the side with more moles of gas. (a) Reactants: 1 mol of gas; Products: 2 moles of gas. Products are favored. $F(g)$ concentration increases and $F_2(g)$ concentration decreases. (b) Reactants: 2 moles of gas; Products: 4 moles of gas. Products are favored. $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ concentrations increase and $CH_4$ concentration decreases.
