The equilibrium constant, \( K_c \), for the following reaction is \( 7.00 \times 10^{-5} \) at 673 K. Calculate \( K_p \) for this reaction at this temperature.

\[ \text{NH}_4\text{I}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3(g) + \text{HI}(g) \]

\[ K_p = \text{[Box for answer]} \]

**Equilibrium Constant Calculation**

The equilibrium constant, \( K_p \), for the following reaction is 10.5 at 350 K. Calculate \( K_c \) for this reaction at this temperature.

\[ 2 \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_4(g) + \text{CCl}_4(g) \]

\[ K_c = \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \]

In this problem, you are given the equilibrium constant in terms of pressure (\( K_p \)) and asked to find the equilibrium constant in terms of concentration (\( K_c \)). The reaction involves the conversion of two moles of dichloromethane gas (CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\)) to one mole of methane gas (CH\(_4\)) and one mole of carbon tetrachloride gas (CCl\(_4\)). 

To calculate \( K_c \), use the relation between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \):

\[
K_p = K_c(RT)^{\Delta n}
\]

Where:
- \( R \) is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K).
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
- \( \Delta n \) is the change in moles of gas (\( \Delta n = \text{moles of product gases} - \text{moles of reactant gases} = 1 + 1 - 2 = 0 \)).

Since \( \Delta n = 0 \), \( K_p = K_c \) at 350 K, meaning:

\[ K_c = K_p = 10.5 \]
