Nitrosyl chloride, NOCl, decomposes to NO and Cl₂ at high temperatures.

Suppose you place 2.00 mol NOCl in a 1.00-L flask, seal it, and raise the temperature to 462 °C. When equilibrium has been established, 0.66 mol NO is present. Calculate the equilibrium constant K_c for the decomposition reaction from these data.
