Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....
There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.
Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n
n = number of half lives that have elapsed
In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).
0.0156 = 0.5n
log 0.0156 = n log 0.5
-1.81 = -0.301 n
n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed

Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)
The equilibrium constant is 1.3 considering the reaction as written in the question.
<h3>Equilibrium in chemical reactions</h3>
In a chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant is calculated based on the equilibrium concentration of each specie. The equation of this reaction is;
A (g) + 2B (g) ⇌ 3C (g).
The initial concentration of each specie is;
- A - 9.22 M
- B - 10.11 M
- C - 27.83 M
The equilibrium concentration of B is 18.32 M
We now have to set up the ICE table as follows;
A (g) + 2B (g) ⇌ 3C (g)
I 9.22 10.11 27.83
C -x -x +x
E 9.22 - x 10.11 - x 27.83 + x
The equilibrium concentration of B is 18.32 M hence;
10.11 - x = 18.32
x = 10.11 - 18.32 = -8.21
Hence;
Equilibrium concentration of A = 9.22 - (-8.21) = 17.43
Equilibrium concentration of C = 27.83 + (-8.21) = 19.62
Equilibrium constant K = [19.62]^3/[17.43] [18.32]^2
K = 1.3
