QUESTION:

Highly toxic disulfur decafluoride decomposes by a freeradical process: . In a study of the decomposition, S2F10 was placed in a 2.0-L flask and heated to 100_C; [S2F10] was 0.50 M at equilibrium. More S2F10 was added, and when equilibrium was reattained, [S2F10] was 2.5 M. How did [SF4] and [SF6] change from the original to the new equilibrium position after the addition of more S2F10?
