Question
# Calculating an Equilibrium Constant from a Heterogeneous Reaction

**Reaction Overview:**
Iron(III) oxide and hydrogen react to form iron and water, as shown in the equation:

\[ \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3(s) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}(s) + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \]

**Experimental Setup:**
At a certain temperature, a chemist uses a 3.6 L reaction vessel to study the equilibrium composition. The vessel initially contains a mixture of iron(III) oxide, hydrogen, iron, and water with the following amounts:

| **Compound** | **Amount (g)** |
|--------------|----------------|
| Fe\(_2\)O\(_3\) | 3.38         |
| H\(_2\)        | 4.06         |
| Fe             | 3.38         |
| H\(_2\)O       | 21.5         |

**Task:**
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

**Input Box:**
\[ \large{K_c = \_\_} \]

Options:
- **Explanation**: Provides detailed guidance for solving the problem.
- **Check**: Verifies the entered answer.

**Visual Description:**
The webpage displays an interface with the title "ALEKS - Calculating an Equilibrium Constant from a Heterogeneous Reaction." The reaction equation and table are centered, followed by input options at the bottom for additional explanation or answer checking.
