### Equilibrium Concentration Calculation

#### Chemical Reaction:
\[ \text{SO}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2(g) \]

- **Enthalpy Change (\(\Delta H^\circ\))**: \(-264 \, \text{kJ}\)
- **Equilibrium Constant (K)**: \(34.5\)

#### Given Data:
At \(300 \, \text{K}\), the equilibrium concentrations are:
- \([\text{SO}_2] = 0.65 \, \text{M}\)
- \([\text{Cl}_2] = 0.85 \, \text{M}\)

#### Problem Statement:
What is the equilibrium concentration of \(\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2\) at this temperature?

\[ [\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2] = [?] \, \text{M} \]

Below the problem statement, there is a text box where the concentration of \(\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2\) can be entered with an "Enter" button beside it.

#### Explanation:
To find the equilibrium concentration of \(\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2\), you can use the expression for the equilibrium constant \(K\):

\[ K = \frac{[\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2]}{[\text{SO}_2][\text{Cl}_2]} \]

Rearranging this equation to solve for \( [\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2] \) gives:

\[ [\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2] = K \times [\text{SO}_2] \times [\text{Cl}_2] \]

Substitute the given values into the equation to calculate the equilibrium concentration of \(\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2\).
