K_c=6.55xx10^(14)R

Explanation:

2NO_((g))+O_(2(g))rightleftharpoons2NO_(2(g))

K_p=(p_(NO_2)^(2))/(p_(NO)^(2)xxp_(O_2))

p represents the partial pressure of the gas.

The relationship between K_p and K_c is given by:

K_p=K_c(RT)^(Deltan)

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Deltan is the difference between the no. moles of product molecules - the number of moles of reactant molecules.

In this case you can see that Deltan=2-3=-1

:.K_p=K_c(RT)^(-1)

K_p=K_c/(RT)

:.K_c=K_pxxRT

K_c=2.2xx10^(12)xxRxx298

K_c=6.55xx10^(14)R

You can't evaluate this numerically since no units are given for K_p so you can't chose a value for R.
