By the problem initial amount of $ICl(g)$

$\alpha=(0.0682" g "ICl)/(162.5" g/mol "ICl)~~4.2xx10^(-4)mol$

Amount of $I_2(g)$ as well as $Cl_2(g)$ in equilibrium mixture

$x=(0.0383" g")/(254" g/mol")~~1.5xx10^-4mol$

The equilibrium constant $K_c$ of the reaction

$K_c=([I_2(g)][Cl_2(g)])/([ICl (g)]$

$=(x/V*x/V)/((\alpha-2x)/V)$

$=x^2/(V(\alpha-2x))$

$=(1.5xx10^-4)^2/(0.625(4.2xx10^(-4)-2*1.5xx10^-4))$

$=(2.25xx10^-8)/(0.625xx1.2xx10^-4)=3xx10^-4$
