Question

at the very end of the 2nd image. can you elaborate as to how Kc1 was achieved in 1/Kc1 ? I understand how to get the 1, but i dont understand why there is a Kc1 under the 1. The same thing applies to the Kc2 to the right of this. can you elaborate more on this please? 

Example: Given the equilibrium constants for the reactions
2 NO(g) ⇒ N₂(g) + O₂(g)
2 NO(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 NO₂(g)
Kc1 = 2.3 x 1024
Kc₂ = 6.4 x 10⁹
find the numerical value for Kc3, the equilibrium constant for the
reaction
=
N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 NO₂(g) Kc3 ?

Follow-up Question

But why is KC1 inverted? I still dont understand why. why isn't it just Kc2 x Kc1.
