A rigid, sealed \(1.0 \text{ L}\) reaction vessel contains a mixture of \(\text{NO(g)}\) and \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\) at a constant temperature. The system reacts and reaches equilibrium according to the balanced equation below:

\[ 2\,\text{NO(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \]

The initial and equilibrium concentrations of the species are recorded in the table below:

SpeciesInitial Concentration (M)Equilibrium Concentration (M)
\(\text{NO(g)}\)\(0.60\)\(?\)
\(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\)\(0.40\)\(?\)
\(\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}\)\(0.00\)\(0.40\)

Based on the data, what is the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, \(K_c\), for the reaction at this temperature?
