Because, change in moles,
delta(n_gas) = 2 - (1) = 1

Temperature T = 700+273 = 973 K
Kc = 1.52

Because,
Kp = Kc*(RT)^delta(n_gas) = Kc*R*T ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
