Question
### Equilibrium Concentration Calculation

#### Problem Statement
The reaction shown below has \( K_c = 9.0 \).

\[ 2A_{(g)} \leftrightarrow B_{(g)} + C_{(g)} \]

If you start with 1.0 M A, what is the equilibrium concentration of C?

#### Multiple Choice Options
- \( \bigcirc \) 0.75 M
- \( \bigcirc \) none of the answers are correct
- \( \bigcirc \) 0.43 M
- \( \bigcirc \) 0.50 M

#### Explanation
To solve this problem, you need to apply the concept of chemical equilibrium and use the given equilibrium constant \( K_c \). You would set up an ICE table (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) to track the concentrations of reactants and products over time until equilibrium is reached.
