The Kc of the given is Kc = 1.5 x 10^ (-4)

Explanation:

All units should be in molarity

Initial molarity of NOBr = moles/volume

= 1.86/5.00 = 0.372 M

2 NOBr (g) ⇔ 2 NO (g) + Br2 (g)

At equilibrium:

[Br2] = a = moles / volume = 0.082 / 5.00 = 0.0164 M

[NO2] = 2a = 0.0328 M

[NOBr] = 0.372 - 2a = 0.3392 M

Kc = [NO] ^2[Br2] / [NOBr]^2

= 0.0328 ^2 x 0.0164 / 0.3392^2

= 1.53 x 10^ (-4)

Kc = 1.5 x 10^ (-4)
