Explanation / Answer

Given that initially

[A] = 0. 650M, [B] = 1.35 M, and [C] = 0.650 M.

At equilibrium, [A] = 0.490 M and [C] = 0.810 M. C

                   A       + 2B < = > C

I            0.650      1.35           0.650

C           -0.160    2(-1.60)    +0.160

E             0.490      1.85          0.81

Kc = [C] / [A] [B]^2

= 0.81 / 0.490 * (1.85)^2

=0.81/ 0.490 *3.4225

= 0.48
