Answer

(a) $$K_c = \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO]^2[O_2]}$$ (b) $$K_c = \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^+]^2}$$ (c) $$K_c = \frac{[OH^-]^2}{[C{O_3}^{2-}]}$$

Work Step by Step

1. The $K_c$ expression follows this pattern: $aA + bB \leftrightharpoons cC + dD$ $$K_c =\frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$$ Where solids and pure liquids do not appear on the expression. (a) $$K_c = \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO]^2[O_2]}$$ (b) $$K_c = \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^+]^2}$$ (c) $$K_c = \frac{[OH^-]^2}{[C{O_3}^{2-}]}$$
