At a given temperature, the Keq value is 1.04 for the following reaction; C2H4 + H2 →→ C2H6 Initially, 0.34 mol C2H4 and 0.53 mol H2 are placed in a 1.00 L container and equilibrium is established. Determine the equilibrium concentration of each gas in the container. 2. Nitrogen dioxide can break down into nitrogen monoxide and oxygen. The equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kc-0.40. If the equilibrium concentration of NO2 is 0.20 mol/L and the equilibrium concentration of NO (g) is 1.0 mol/L, what is the equilibrium concentration of O2 (g) ?
