Answer

a) equilibrium constant $ k = \frac{[N_{2}O_{4}]}{[NO_{2}]^{2} }$ b) equilibrium constant $ k = \frac{[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]}{[BrNO]^{2} }$ c) equilibrium constant $ k = \frac{[H_{2}][CO_{2}] }{[H_{2}O][CO]}$ d) equilibrium constant $ k = \frac{[CS_{2}][H_{2}]^{4}}{[CH_{4}][H_{2}S]^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

For any reaction say, $aX \leftrightharpoons bY$ where X is reactant and Y is product and a & b are the stoichiometric co-efficients we can write equilibrium expression as follows: $k = \frac{[Y]^{b}}{[X]^{a}}$ Here [Y] means equilibrium concentration of the product Y. and [X] means equilibrium concentration of the reactant X.
