Detailed Solution

Given: It is given that for reaction 1st : N2(g)+2O2(g)2NO2(g);Kc=[NO]2/[N2][O2]2=100

We have to find the KC for reaction 2nd : NO2(g)1/2N2(g)+O2(g)

Explanation: On reversing reaction 1st we get Kc=1/Kc=1/100 (i.e., reciprocal of Kc)

Since reaction 2 = ½ of the reversed reaction 1st,

therefore Kc for reaction 2nd is 1/(Kc)1/2

i.e., Kc=1/(100)1/2=1/10=0.1

Hence, the correct option C is i.e., 0.1.
