Answer

$$K_c = 1.10 \times 10^7$$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the equilibrium constant expression: - The exponent of each concentration is equal to its balance coefficient. $$K_c = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[ H_2S ]^{ 2 }}{[ H_2 ]^{ 2 }[ S_2 ]}$$ 2. Find each concentration: $[H_2] = 2.50/12 = 0.208 M$ $[S_2] = (1.35 \times 10^{-5})/12 = 1.13 \times 10^{-6}M$ $[H_2S] = 8.70/12 = 0.725 M$ 3. Substitute the values and calculate the constant value: $$K_c = \frac{( 0.725 )^{ 2 }}{( 0.208 )^{ 2 }( 1.13 \times 10^{-6} )} = 1.10 \times 10^{7}$$
