Expert Solution
Step 1

To calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the given reaction, we need to use the law of mass action which states that the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients gives the value of Kc.
