### Chemical Equilibrium Calculation

At a certain temperature, 0.312 mol of CH₄ and 0.728 mol of H₂S are placed in a 2.00 L container.

The chemical reaction is:
\[ \text{CH}_4(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{S}(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{CS}_2(\text{g}) + 4\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \]

At equilibrium, 7.92 g of CS₂ is present. Calculate \( K_c \).

To begin, we need to convert the mass of CS₂ to moles:
\[ \text{Moles of } \text{CS}_2 = \frac{7.92 \text{ g}}{\text{Molar Mass of } \text{CS}_2} \]

The molar mass of CS₂ is:
\[ \text{Molar Mass of } \text{CS}_2 = 12.01 \text{ (Carbon)} + 2 \times 32.07 \text{ (Sulfur)} = 76.15 \text{ g/mol} \]

So, the moles of CS₂ are:
\[ \frac{7.92 \text{ g}}{76.15 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 0.104 \text{ mol} \]

Next, let's set up an I.C.E. (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table:

|               | CH₄ (g)   | H₂S (g)   | CS₂ (g)   | H₂ (g)    |
|---------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Initial (mol) | 0.312     | 0.728     | 0         | 0         |
| Change (mol)  | -x        | -2x       | +x        | +4x       |
| Equilibrium   | 0.312 - x | 0.728 - 2x| x         | 4x        |

From above, we have the equilibrium concentration of CS₂:
\[ x = 0.104 \text{ mol} \]

Using the change \( x \), we find:
\[ \text{Equilibrium concentration of CH}_4 = 0.312 - 0.104 =
