Answer

(a) 49 (b) $1.0 \times 10^{12}$

Work Step by Step

(a) 1. Calculate $\Delta n$ (n is the amount of moles of gases): $$\Delta n = n_{products} - n_{reactants} = 2 - 2 = 0 $$ 2 . Calculate Kc: $$K_c = \frac{K_p}{(RT)^{\Delta n}} = \frac{( 49 )}{(0.0821 \times 730. )^{ 0 }}$$ $$K_c = 49 $$ (b) 1. Calculate $\Delta n$ (n is the amount of moles of gases): $$\Delta n = n_{products} - n_{reactants} = 2 - 3 = -1 $$ 2 . Calculate Kc: $$K_c = \frac{K_p}{(RT)^{\Delta n}} = \frac{( 2.5 \times 10^{10} )}{(0.0821 \times 500. )^{ -1 }}$$ $$K_c = 1.0 \times 10^{12} $$
