Question

A gaseous species decomposes at high tempretures. In an expirament to explore this behavior, 1.25 moles of gaseous A are sealed in a 0.80 L vesse. The vessel is heated as 525 Kelvin and some of the A decomposes in the following reaction: 

2 A (g) ---> <--- B (g) + 3 C(g)

the system eventually reaches equilibrium and is found to contain 0.94 moles of A

a) what are the values of Kp and Kc for the reaction at the given tempertature?

b) when would the values of Kp and Kc be equal?

c) what would you expect to happen to the equilibrium constant if the temperature the reaction takes place at increases?
