The reaction

occurs at high temperatures. At 700°C, a 200.0-L tank contains 1.0 mol of CO, 0.20 mol of CO₂, and 0.40 mol of C at equilibrium.

(a) Calculate K_c for the reaction at 700°C.
(b) Calculate K_c for the reaction, also at 700°C, if the amounts at equilibrium in the 200.0-L tank are 1.0 mol of CO, 0.20 mol of CO₂, and 0.80 mol of C.
(c) Compare the results of (a) and (b). Does the quantity of carbon affect the value of K_c? Explain.
