Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equilibrium constant of decomposition of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}{}_{\left(g\right)}$ and reaction of ${\text{O}}_{\text{3}}{}_{\left(g\right)}$ with ${\text{NO}}_{\left(g\right)}$ is given. The equilibrium constant of given reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The state when the reactants involved in a chemical reaction and the products formed in the reaction exist in concentrations having no further tendency to change is known as an equilibrium state of the reaction. When the equilibrium constant is expressed in terms of concentration, it is represented as $K$.

To determine: The equilibrium constant of given reaction.
