Nickel carbonyl decomposes to form nickel and carbon

Nickel carbonyl decomposes to form nickel and carbon monoxide, like this: Ni (CO)4⇒ (9) Ni(s) +4 CO(g) At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 6.8 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nickel carbonyl, nickel, and carbon monoxide at equilibrium has the following composition: compound amount Ni (CO), 0.134 g Ni 33.0 g CO 1.51 g Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K, for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
