Individual Reactions

2 = 4 + 5 + 3

By formula: 2C₂F₁₁N₅ = 4CF₄ + 5N₂ + 3F₂

CF₅N =  + 0.5 + 0.5

By formula: CF₅N = CF₄ + 0.5N₂ + 0.5F₂

 + 0.5 + 0.5 = CF₅N

By formula: CF₄ + 0.5N₂ + 0.5F₂ = CF₅N

2 = 2 + 3 + 3

By formula: 2CF₇N₃ = 2CF₄ + 3N₂ + 3F₂

2 = 2 + 3 + 

By formula: 2CF₅N₃ = 2CF₄ + 3N₂ + F₂

=  + 2 + 2

By formula: CF₈N₄ = CF₄ + 2N₂ + 2F₂

=  +  + 

By formula: CF₆N₂ = CF₄ + N₂ + F₂

 +  = F₃^-

By formula: F^- + F₂ = F₃^-

 + 4 =  + 4

By formula: CF₄ + 4HF = CH₄ + 4F₂

 + 2 = 2

By formula: C₂F₄ + 2F₂ = 2CF₄
