Answer 1

Answer:

Kc = [Cu(NO₃)₂]/[2 AgNO₃]²

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced redox equation.

Cu(s) + 2 AgNO₃(aq) ⇄ Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 Ag(s)

The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the product of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. It only includes gases and aqueous species.

The concentration equilibrium constant for this reaction is:

Kc = [Cu(NO₃)₂]/[2 AgNO₃]²
