Nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to give nitrogen dioxide, an important reaction in the Ostwald process for the industrial synthesis of nitric acid: 2NO(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO2(g) . (a) If Kc=6.9×10^5  at 227 ∘C, what is the value of Kp at this temperature? (b) If Kp=1.3×10^−2 at 1000 K, what is the value of Kc at 1000 K?
