Explanation / Answer

A)
delta n = number of gas in product - number of gas in reactant
     =3+1 - 2
     = 2

T=1732 oC = (1732+273) K=2005 K
use:
Kp = Kc * (RT)^(delta n)
     = 0.155 * (0.0821*2005)^2
     =4200
Answer: 4200 atm^2

B)
I dont understant this question

There is no unitless thermodynamic equilibrium constant

C)
delta n = number of gas in product - number of gas in reactant
     =2    - (1 + 3)
     = -2

T=258 oC = (258+273) K=531 K

R=8.314*10^-2 L bar k-1 mol-1
use:
Kp = Kc * (RT)^(delta n)
3.05*10^-3 = Kc* (8.314*10^-2*531)^-2
Kc = 4.59*10^-4 L^2 mol-2


D)
I dont understant this question

There is no unitless thermodynamic equilibrium constant
