From the given options, the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction has to be chosen.
Concept Introduction:
Law of
The equilibrium constant is the product of molar concentrations of the product which is raised to its stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of molar concentrations of the reactant which is raised to its stoichiometric coefficients.
Equilibrium Constant:
Consider a reaction,
Forward
