Practice ProblemCONCEPTUALIZE

Consider a chemical reaction represented by the equation $\text{A}\left(g\right)+\text{B}\left(g\right)\rightleftarrows \text{C}\left(g\right)$, for which the value of $K_c$ is 100. If we multiply the chemical equation by two, $2\text{A}\left(g\right)+2\text{B}\left(g\right)\rightleftarrows 2\text{C}\left(g\right),$ the value of $K_c$ becomes 10.000. Does the larger equilibrium constant indicate that more product $\left[\text{C}\left(g\right)\right]$ will form, given the same starting conditions? Explain.
