**Equilibrium Constants in Chemical Reactions**

**Problem Statement:**
Given the equilibrium constants for two reactions at 400 K:

1. \( \text{Br}_2 (g) + \text{ICl}_3 (g) \rightleftharpoons \text{ICl}_3\text{Br}_2 (g) \) with an equilibrium constant \( K_1 = 2.5 \times 10^3 \)

2. \( 2 \text{ICl}_3 \text{Br}_2 (g) + \text{Br}_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{IBr}_3 (g) + 3 \text{Cl}_2 (g) \) with an equilibrium constant \( K_2 = 4.0 \times 10^{-7} \)

Determine the equilibrium constant for the following reaction:
\[ 3 \text{Br}_2 (g) + 2 \text{ICl}_3 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{IBr}_3 (g) + 3 \text{Cl}_2 (g) \]

**Solution:**
To find the equilibrium constant (\( K \)) for the overall reaction, we need to combine the given equilibrium reactions. 

First, we multiply the first reaction by 2:
\[ 2 \text{Br}_2 (g) + 2 \text{ICl}_3 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{ICl}_3\text{Br}_2 (g) \]
The new equilibrium constant for this reaction will be \( (K_1)^2 = (2.5 \times 10^3)^2 = 6.25 \times 10^6 \)

Next, we sum this transformed reaction with the second given reaction:
\[ 2 \text{ICl}_3 \text{Br}_2 (g) + \text{Br}_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{IBr}_3 (g) + 3 \text{Cl}_2 (g) \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 3 \text{Br}_2 (g) + 2 \text{ICl}_3 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{IBr}_3 (g) +
