Problem

In a sealed rigid flask, the reaction C₂(g) ⇌ 2 C(g) has reached equilibrium at a fixed temperature. A snapshot reveals 2 molecules of C₂ and 18 atoms of C in the same volume. Using only these particle numbers, estimate the numerical value of the equilibrium constant K to one significant figure.
