Question
**Equilibrium Constant Expression**

Consider the following chemical reaction at equilibrium:

\[ 2\text{SO}_3 (\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_2 (\text{g}) + \text{O}_2 (\text{g}) \]

The conventional equilibrium constant expression for this system, as described by the above equation, is:

Choose the correct option:

- (a) \(\frac{[\text{SO}_2]^2}{[\text{SO}_3]}\)
- (b) \(\frac{[\text{SO}_2]^2[\text{O}_2]}{[\text{SO}_3]^2}\)
- (c) \(\frac{[\text{SO}_2]^2}{[\text{SO}_3]^2[\text{O}_2]}\)
- (d) \(\frac{[\text{SO}_2]}{[\text{O}_2]}\)
- (e) None of these

This exercise helps you to understand how to write the equilibrium expression for a given chemical reaction. The correct equilibrium constant expression will depend on the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium.
