The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Carbon tetrachloride reacts at high temperatures with oxygen to produce two toxic gases, phosgene and chlorine.

$CCl_4(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)+Cl_2(g);K_c=4.4\times 10^9$ at 1,000 K

Calculate Kc for the reaction $2CCl_4(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2COCl_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)$

The value of K_c' for the final reaction is $1.936\times 10^{19}$

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

$CCl_4(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)+Cl_2(g);K_c$

We need to calculate the equilibrium constant for the equation, which is:

$2CCl_4(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2COCl_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)$

As, the final reaction is the twice of the initial equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the final reaction will be the square of the initial equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

K_c'=(K_c)^2

We are given:

$K_c=4.4\times 10^9$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_c'=(4.4\times 10^9)^2=1.936\times 10^{19}$

Hence, the value of K_c' for the final reaction is $1.936\times 10^{19}$

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence, the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
