4) A researcher is working on the degradation of gaseous sulfur trioxide into sulfur dioxide and oxygen gases at 478 K. Once an unknown amount of sulfur trioxide was pumped into an evacuated and sealed flask, the total pressure of the system was found to be 2.6 atm when equilibrium was established. Using an oxygen detector, the mole fraction of the oxygen was found to be 0.10. Calculate the Kc of this reaction.
