The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( K_c \) given the reaction: \[ NH_4COONH_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) + CO_2(g) \] and the equilibrium constant \( K_p = 4 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: We have the equilibrium reaction where solid ammonium carbamate decomposes into gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide. 2. **Write the Relationship Between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \)**: The relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) is given by the formula: \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta N_g} \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, and \( \Delta N_g \) is the change in the number of moles of gas. 3. **Calculate \( \Delta N_g \)**: - Count the moles of gaseous products: - From the products, we have \( 2 \) moles of \( NH_3 \) and \( 1 \) mole of \( CO_2 \), giving a total of \( 2 + 1 = 3 \) moles. - Count the moles of gaseous reactants: - The reactant \( NH_4COONH_4 \) is a solid, which does not contribute to \( \Delta N_g \). - Therefore, \( \Delta N_g = \text{moles of products} - \text{moles of reactants} = 3 - 0 = 3 \). 4. **Substitute Values into the Equation**: Now we can substitute \( K_p \) and \( \Delta N_g \) into the equation: \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta N_g} \] Rearranging gives: \[ K_c = \frac{K_p}{(RT)^{\Delta N_g}} \] 5. **Plug in the Known Values**: Substitute \( K_p = 4 \) and \( \Delta N_g = 3 \): \[ K_c = \frac{4}{(RT)^3} \] 6. **Final Expression**: Since we do not have the values for \( R \) and \( T \), we leave the answer in terms of \( R \) and \( T \): \[ K_c = \frac{4}{(RT)^3} \] ### Final Answer: \[ K_c = \frac{4}{(RT)^3} \]
