For N2O4 <=> 2NO2, the equilibrium concentrations are [N2O4] = 0.040 and [NO2] = 0.080 mol dm-3. What is Kc?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 0.16 mol dm-3
- Step 1: . Step 2. . Answer: 0.16 mol dm-3. Why not the others: 2.0 uses 0.080/0.040 without squaring; 0.0064 forgets to divide; 0.080 is the concentration of NO2.
