Answer:

Answer choice 'D' => Kc(2) = 581

Explanation:

2HD ⇄ H₂ + D₂ => Kc(1) = [H₂][D₂]/[HD]² => 0.28

5H₂ + 5D₂ ⇄ 10HD => Kc(2) = [HD]¹⁰/[H₂]⁵[D₂]⁵ = 1/(Kc(1))⁵ = 1/(0.28)⁵ = 581

For these type problems, one should 1st write the empirical Kc expression for each equation given. Then compare the expressions and ask 'how can the 1st Kc expression be changed into the 2nd Kc expression?' Apply and substitute given Kc(1) into the Kc(2) expression and solve for numerical results.
