The equilibrium constant, K_p, has a value of 6.5 *10¯⁴ at 308 K for the reaction of nitrogen monoxide with chlorine. What is the value of K_c?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of K_c is related to K_p by the equation: K_c = K_p(RT)^Δn where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Δn is the difference between the number of moles of gas on the product side and the reactant side. In this reaction, there are two moles of gas on the reactant side (NO and Cl2) and two moles of gas on the product side (NOCl). Therefore, Δn = 0, and (RT)^Δn = 1. This simplifies the equation to K_c = K_p. Plugging in the given value of K_p, we get: K_c = 6.5 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 10¯⁴ Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 1.6 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 10¯² .
