Answer

$$\begin{vmatrix} Compound& [ H_2 ]& [ F_2 ]& [ HF ]\\ Initial& 0.20 & 0.10 & 0 \\ Change& -x& -x&+ 2 x\\ Equilibrium& 0.20 -x& 0.10 -x& 2 x\\ \end{vmatrix}$$

Work Step by Step

1. Calculate the concentrations: $$Molarity(H_2) = \frac{0.10 \space mol \space H_2}{0.50 \space L} = 0.20 \space M \space H_2$$ $$Molarity(F_2) = \frac{0.050 \space mol \space F_2}{0.50 \space L} = 0.10 \space M$$ 2. Draw the ICE table for this equilibrium: $$\begin{vmatrix} Compound& [ H_2 ]& [ F_2 ]& [ HF ]\\ Initial& 0.20 & 0.10 & 0 \\ Change& -x& -x&+ 2 x\\ Equilibrium& 0.20 -x& 0.10 -x& 2 x\\ \end{vmatrix}$$
