Question

As an EPA scientist studying catalytic converters and urban smog, you want to find Kc for the following reaction:
 
2 NO2(g) ⇌ N2(g) + 2 O2(g)

 
 

Kc = ?
 
Use the following data to find the unknown Kc:
 
1/2 N2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) ⇌ NO(g)

 
 

Kc = 4.8

×

10 −10
 
2 NO2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + O2(g)

 
 

Kc = 1.1

×

10−5
