Answer:

K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the chemical equilibrium reaction:

2 N₂O₅(g) ⇄ 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g)

The equilibrium reaction is obtained as the ratio between the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants over the products powered to its reaction coefficient. That is:

K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²
