Question
### Equilibrium Concentration Calculation of Nitric Oxide (NO)

**Problem Statement:**

In air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm, the concentration of nitrogen (N₂) is 0.01 M, and the concentration of oxygen (O₂) is 0.033 M. Consider the following reaction:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}(g) \]

The equilibrium constant (\(K_c\)) for this reaction at 25 °C is \(4.8 \times 10^{-31}\).

**Task:**

Using the initial concentrations of N₂ and O₂, calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO expected in the atmosphere from this reaction at 38 °C, given that \(K_c = 1.0 \times 10^{-29}\).

**Instructions:**

Make necessary simplifying assumptions in your calculations. Provide the equilibrium concentration of NO in scientific notation:

\[ [\text{NO}] = \_\_\_ \text{ M} \]
