To solve this problem, we need to write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:

NH3 (g) ⇌ NH4+ + NH3 (aq)

Given that 7 mol of NH3 is placed in a 14 L flask, the initial concentration of NH3 can be calculated as follows:

Initial concentration of NH3 = 7 mol / 14 L = 0.5 M

At equilibrium, the concentration of NH4+ is given as 0.2 M.

Using an ICE (Initial-Change-Equilibrium) table:

NH3 ⇌ NH4+
Initial 0.5 M 0 M
Change -x +x
Equilibrium (0.5 - x) M x M

Since NH4+ is a product, x = 0.2 M at equilibrium.

Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the equilibrium expression for Kc:

Kc = [NH4+][NH3] / [NH3]
Kc = (0.2) / (0.5 - 0.2)
Kc = 0.2 / 0.3
Kc = 0.67

Therefore, the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 0.67.
