At $400 \ K$ in a closed vessel,the reaction $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$ takes place. At equilibrium,the concentration of $H_2$ is $0.6 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,the concentration of $I_2$ is $0.8 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,and the concentration of $HI$ is $0.14 \ mol \ L^{-1}$. Calculate the equilibrium constant $(K_c)$.

(N/A) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$ is given by:
$K_c = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}$
Substituting the given equilibrium concentrations:
$K_c = \frac{(0.14)^2}{(0.6)(0.8)}$
$K_c = \frac{0.0196}{0.48}$
$K_c \approx 0.04083$ or $4.08 \times 10^{-2}$

For the reaction $2 H_{2(g)} + 2 NO_{(g)} \rightarrow N_{2(g)} + 2 H_2O_{(g)}$,the observed rate expression is $rate = k_f [NO]^2 [H_2]$. The rate expression of the reverse reaction is:

One mole of a compound $AB$ reacts with one mole of a compound $CD$ according to the equation $AB + CD \rightleftharpoons AD + CB$. When equilibrium had been established,it was found that $\frac{3}{4} \ mol$ each of reactant $AB$ and $CD$ had been converted to $AD$ and $CB$. There is no change in volume. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:
