Question
Equal quantities of SO₂ and NO₂ were combined in a one-liter container, and the following reaction was allowed to come to equilibrium at a high temperature.
 
SO₂(g) + NO₂(g) ⇌ SO₃(g) + NO(g)
 
The equilibrium concentrations were found to be [SO₂] = [NO₂] = 0.466 M and [SO₃] = [NO] = 0.0148 M.
 
Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction. Note Kc is often called K.
