Answer #1

For given problem first we need to add up the two reaction.

2 CO2 (g) + H2O (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 O2 (g) + CH2CO (g) Kc = 6.1 * 108

+ CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) \rightleftharpoons CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) Kc = 1.2 * 1014

Cancelling 2 O2 (g) and subtracting H2O (g) and CO2 (g) from both side, we get

CH4 (g) + CO2 (g) \rightleftharpoons CH2CO (g) + H2O (g).

To find the Kc for combined reaction we need to multiply both the value.

Therefore Kc = 6.1 * 108 * 1.2 * 1014 = 7.32 * 1022.

After rounding off final answer will be 7.3 * 1022.

Therefore Kc for reaction CH4 (g) + CO2 (g) \rightleftharpoons CH2CO (g) + H2O (g) is 7.3 * 1022.

If you find any mistake please mention in the comment box.

Thanks.
