Answer

a) equilibrium constant $k_{eq} = \frac{[CO_{2}]^{2}}{[CO]^{2}[O_{2}]} $ b) equilibrium constant $k_{eq} = \frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]}$ c) equilibrium constant $k_{eq} = \frac{[SbCl_{3}][Cl_{2}]}{[SbCl_{5}]}$ d) equilibrium constant $ k_{eq} = \frac{[COCl_{2}]}{[CO][Cl_{2}]}$

Work Step by Step

For any equilibrium reaction say, $ aP + bQ \leftrightharpoons cR + dS $ Where P, Q are reactants and R, S are products. a,b,c,d are stoichiometric co-efficient. Now, we can write the equilibrium expression for this reaction as follows: $ k_{eq} = \frac{[R]^{c}[S]^{d}}{[P]^{a}[Q]^{b}}$ So, this is the general equilibrium expression for any chemical reaction.
