Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium constant expression for the reversible reaction, $2{\text{X}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+3{\text{Y}}_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2{\text{X}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Y}}_3\left(g\right)+heat$ has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant is a constant at any point of equilibrium; where, the ratio of the concentration of the products, each raised to power of their respective coefficient, to the concentration of the reactants, each raised to a power of their respective coefficient. Equilibrium constant depends only on temperature.
