A mixture of gaseous CO and H₂, called synthesis gas, is used commercially to prepare methanol (CH3OH), a compound considered an alternative fuel to gasoline. Under equilibrium conditions at 570.3 K, [H₂] = 0.07509 mol/L, [CO] = 0.02320 mol/L, and [CH3OH] = 0.0401 mol/L. What is the value of Kc for this reaction at 570.3 K?
