Mustard gas, S(CH2CH2Cl)2 can be made at room temperature as shown:
SCl2(g) + 2 C2H4(g) <=> S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)
In a particular experiment, 0.459 M of SCl2 and 0.919 M C2H4 were mixed. At equilibrium, [S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)] was 0.141 M.
Calculate the value of Kc for the reaction.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
The answer is 1.09 but I dont know how to get it. can someone help me?

[SCl2] = 0.459 - x = 0.459 - 0.141 = 0.318 M
[C2H4] = 0.919 - 2x = 0.919 - (2)(0.141) = 0.637 M
Kc = [S(CH2CH2Cl)2] / [SCl2][C2H4]^2 = (0.141) / (0.318)(0.637)^2 = 1.09

NH3 + NaOCl → NaOH + NH2Cl
NH2Cl + NaOCl → NaOH + NHCl2
NHCl2 + NaOCl → NaOH + NCl3
Additional reactions produce hydrazine, in a variation of the Olin Raschig process.
NH3 + NH2Cl + NaOH → N2H4 + NaCl + H2O
The hydrazine generated can further react with the monochloramine in an exothermic reaction:[6]
2 NH2Cl + N2H4 → 2 NH4Cl + N2
NH2Cl + NaOCl → NaOH + NHCl2
NHCl2 + NaOCl → NaOH + NCl3
