Expert Solution
Step 1

Equilibrium constant for reverse reaction:

For reverse reaction the value of the equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for forward reaction.

Equilibrium constant when coefficient are changed:

If a balanced chemical equation coefficient are multiplied by factor n, then  the original Equilibrium constant (K) is raised to the nth power to obtain the new equilibrium constant value.
