A particulate diagram for the equilibrium 2NO₂(g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g) shows 3 NO₂ molecules and 2 N₂O₄ molecules in identical containers of equal volume and temperature. Which statement best describes the magnitude of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction under these conditions?
a) Kc equals 1 because the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal at equilibrium.
b) Kc is less than 1 because the denominator of the equilibrium expression is larger than the numerator.
c) Kc is greater than 1 because the equilibrium expression is written as [NO2]2/[N2O4], which gives a value larger than 1 when the particle numbers are substituted.
d) Kc cannot be inferred from the diagram because the actual concentrations are not given.
