**Chemical Equilibrium and Reaction Calculations**

---

Suppose a 500. mL flask is filled with 2.0 mol of NO₃ and 1.7 mol of NO₂. The following reaction becomes possible:

\[ \text{NO}_3(g) + \text{NO}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}_2(g) \]

The equilibrium constant \( K \) for this reaction is 0.413 at the temperature of the flask.

Calculate the equilibrium molarity of \( \text{NO}_3 \). Round your answer to two decimal places.

---

**Explanation:**

**Chemical Equation:**
The given chemical equilibrium involves the reaction between nitrogen trioxide (NO₃) and nitric oxide (NO), producing nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in a gaseous state. 

\[ \text{NO}_3(g) + \text{NO}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}_2(g) \]

**Condition:**
- The initial amount of NO₃: 2.0 mol
- The initial amount of NO₂: 1.7 mol
- Volume of the flask: 500. mL 
- Equilibrium constant (\( K \)): 0.413

**Objective:**
Calculate the equilibrium molarity of \( \text{NO}_3 \).

**Note:** Ensure to round off the final answer to two decimal places as required. 

To solve this, you can set up the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K \), considering the changes in molarity of the reactants and products from initial to equilibrium states.

**Steps to solve:**
1. Convert moles to molarity for initial conditions.
2. Set up the expression for the equilibrium constant.
3. Solve for the concentration of \( \text{NO}_3 \) at equilibrium.
