What is the Kc expression for this reaction? 2 NO(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO2(g)

a)Kc = [NO2]2 / [NO]2 [O2]
b)Kc = [NO]2 [O2] / [NO2]2
c)Kc = [NO]2 [O2] [NO2]2
d)Kc = [NO2]2 / [NO]2 + [O2]

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
