Correct answer: 2

  1. Use the relation between standard Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant

For the reaction 2A(g)⇌A2(g)2A(g) \rightleftharpoons A_2(g)2A(g)⇌A2​(g) we use: ΔG∘=−RTln⁡K\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln KΔG∘=−RTlnK

Since the question asks for KCK_CKC​, and for this reaction in gas phase we first find KPK_PKP​ from ΔG∘\Delta G^\circΔG∘.

  1. Calculate ln⁡KP\ln K_PlnKP​

Given: ΔG∘=+25.2 kJ mol−1=25200 J mol−1\Delta G^\circ = +25.2\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1} = 25200\,\text{J mol}^{-1}ΔG∘=+25.2kJ mol−1=25200J mol−1 R=8.3 J mol−1K−1,T=400 KR = 8.3\,\text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}, \quad T=400\,\text{K}R=8.3J mol−1K−1,T=400K

So, ln⁡KP=−ΔG∘RT=−252008.3×400\ln K_P = -\frac{\Delta G^\circ}{RT} = -\frac{25200}{8.3\times 400}lnKP​=−RTΔG∘​=−8.3×40025200​

8.3×400=33208.3\times 400 = 33208.3×400=3320

ln⁡KP=−252003320≈−7.59\ln K_P = -\frac{25200}{3320} \approx -7.59lnKP​=−332025200​≈−7.59

Now convert to base 10: log⁡KP=ln⁡KP2.3=−7.592.3≈−3.30\log K_P = \frac{\ln K_P}{2.3} = \frac{-7.59}{2.3} \approx -3.30logKP​=2.3lnKP​​=2.3−7.59​≈−3.30

Thus, KP=10−3.30K_P = 10^{-3.30}KP​=10−3.30

Using 10−3.30=10−3×10−0.3010^{-3.30} = 10^{-3}\times 10^{-0.30}10−3.30=10−3×10−0.30 and antilog(−0.3)=0.501\text{antilog}(-0.3)=0.501antilog(−0.3)=0.501

we get: KP=10−3×0.501=5.01×10−4K_P = 10^{-3}\times 0.501 = 5.01\times 10^{-4}KP​=10−3×0.501=5.01×10−4

  1. Relate KPK_PKP​ and KCK_CKC​

For 2A(g)⇌A2(g)2A(g) \rightleftharpoons A_2(g)2A(g)⇌A2​(g)

Δn=1−2=−1\Delta n = 1-2 = -1Δn=1−2=−1

Relation: KP=KC(RT)Δn=KC(RT)−1K_P = K_C (RT)^{\Delta n} = K_C (RT)^{-1}KP​=KC​(RT)Δn=KC​(RT)−1

Hence, KC=KP×RTK_C = K_P\times RTKC​=KP​×RT

Given that 1 atm=1 bar1\,\text{atm}=1\,\text{bar}1atm=1bar, use RT=0.083×400=33.2RT = 0.083\times 400 = 33.2RT=0.083×400=33.2

Therefore, KC=5.01×10−4×33.2K_C = 5.01\times 10^{-4}\times 33.2KC​=5.01×10−4×33.2

KC≈1.66×10−2K_C \approx 1.66\times 10^{-2}KC​≈1.66×10−2

  1. Match with required form

The question asks: KC=‾×10−2K_C = \underline{\hspace{1cm}}\times 10^{-2}KC​=​×10−2

So the coefficient is 1.66≈21.66 \approx 21.66≈2

  1. Final Answer

KC≈2×10−2K_C \approx 2\times 10^{-2}KC​≈2×10−2

So the required integer is: 2\boxed{2}2​
