Answer: The equilibrium constant for the given chemical reaction is
[O_2]^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

The concentration of all the solids and liquids are considered to be 1 in the expression of equilibrium constant

For the given chemical equation:


2KClO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons 2KCl(s)+3O_2(aq)

The expression of equilibrium constant follows:


K_(eq)=[O_2]^3

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the given chemical reaction is
[O_2]^3
