    Equilibrium concentration of [S₂] is 1.67x10⁻⁷M

    Explanation:

    Based in the reaction:

    2H₂S (g) ⇌ 2H₂ (g) + S₂ (g)

    Kc = 1.67x10⁻⁷ = [S₂] [H₂]² / [H₂S]²

    The reaction is in equilibrium when [S₂] [H₂]² / [H₂S]² = Kc

    With initial concentrations, the equilibrium concentrations must be:

    [H₂S] = 0.100M - 2X

    [S₂] = X

    [H₂] = 0.100M + 2X

    Replacing these values in Kc:

    1.67x10⁻⁷ = [X] [0.100M + 2X]² / [0.100M - 2X]²

    1.67x10⁻⁷ = 4X³ + 0.4X² + 0.01X / 4X² - 0.4X + 0.01

    6.68x10⁻⁷X² - 6.68x10⁻⁸X + 1.67x10⁻⁹ = 4X³ + 0.4X² + 0.01X

    0 = 4X³ + 0.4X² + 0.01X - 1.67x10⁻⁹

    Solving for X:

    X = 1.67x10⁻⁷M

    As [S₂] = X, equilibrium concentration of [S₂] is 1.67x10⁻⁷M
