Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} {ΔG}^{\circ} = 2494 .2 J \\ 2 A ⇌ B + C . \\ [A] = \frac{1}{2}, [B] = 2, [C] = \frac{1}{2} \\ Q = \frac{[B] [C]}{[A]^{2}} = \frac{2 \times 1 / 2}{{(\frac{1}{2})}^{2}} = 4 \\ {ΔG}^{\circ} = - 2 .303 RTlog K_{C} \\ 2494 .2 J = - 2 .303 \times (8 .314 J / K / mol) \times (300 K) logK \\ \Rightarrow \log K_{C} = - \frac{2494 .2 J}{2 .303 \times 8 .314 J / K / mol \times 300 K} \\ \Rightarrow \log K_{C} = - 0 .4341; K_{C} = 0 .37; Q > K_{C} \end{array}$
