![**Equilibrium Constant Expression for Reactions**
This exercise requires you to select the equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction:
\[ 2HBr (g) \rightleftharpoons H_2 (g) + Br_2 (g) \]
**Part A**
Given the equilibrium reaction:
\[ 2HBr(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + Br_2(g) \]
Choose the correct equilibrium constant expression \( K_c \):
1. \( K_c = \frac{[H_2] [Br_2]}{[HBr]^2} \)
2. \( K_c = \frac{2[HBr]}{[H_2] [Br_2]} \)
3. \( K_c = \frac{[HBr]^2}{[H_2] [Br_2]} \)
Provide your answer by selecting the appropriate option.
