3.6×1033.6 \times 10^{-3}

D

3.6

Step-by-Step Solution

For the given reaction: CO2(g)+C(s)2CO(g)\text{CO}_2(g) + \text{C}(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{CO}(g)

The relationship between equilibrium constants KpK_p and KcK_c is given by the equation: Kp=Kc(RT)ΔnK_p = K_c(RT)^{\Delta n}

where Δn\Delta n is the change in the number of moles of gaseous products and gaseous reactants. For the reaction, Δn=moles of gaseous productsmoles of gaseous reactants\Delta n = \text{moles of gaseous products} - \text{moles of gaseous reactants} Δn=21=1\Delta n = 2 - 1 = 1 (Carbon is in the solid state, so it is not included)

Given values: Kp=3.0K_p = 3.0 R=0.083 L bar K1mol1R = 0.083\text{ L bar K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1} T=1000 KT = 1000\text{ K}

Substitute the values into the equation: 3.0=Kc(0.083×1000)13.0 = K_c (0.083 \times 1000)^1 3.0=Kc(83)3.0 = K_c (83) Kc=3.083K_c = \frac{3.0}{83} Kc0.03614K_c \approx 0.03614 Kc3.6×102K_c \approx 3.6 \times 10^{-2}

Thus, the value of KcK_c is 3.6×1023.6 \times 10^{-2}.
