C. A lipid with three unsaturated fatty acids.
(got the question correct on a test)
As we have the balanced reaction equation is:
N2O4 (g) ↔ 2NO2(g)
from this balanced equation, we can get the equilibrium constant expression
KC = [NO2]^2[N2O4]^1
from this expression, we can see that [NO2 ] is with 2 exponent of the stoichiometric and we can see that from the balanced equation as NO2
is 2NO2 in the balanced equation.
and [N2O4] is with 1 exponent of the stoichiometric and we can see that from the balanced equation as N2O4 is 1 N2O4 in the balanced equation.
∴ the correct exponent for N2O4 in the equilibrium constant expression is 1
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
