the contact process, sulfuric acid is manufactured by first oxidizing SO2 to SO3, which is then reacted with water. The reactopn of SO3 with O2 is  2SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2SO3(g) A 2.00-L flask was filled with 0.0400 mol SO2 and 0.0200 mol O2. At equilibrium at 900 K, the flask contained 0.0296 mol SO3. What is the value of Kc for the reaction? Express your answer to two decimal places.
