Determine the equilibrium constant?

Determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction below given the following concentrations at equilibrium:

NO2(g) + CO(g) ↔  NO(g) + CO2(g)

  1. [NO2]= 0.040 mol/L
  2. [CO]= 0.033 mol/L
  3. [NO] = 1.7 mol/L
  4. [CO2] = 3.0 mol/L

Not sure what you've done. It is 1.7 x 3.0 which yields 5.1 and this divided by 0.04 = 127.5 and this divided by 0.033 = 3863 or 3.9x10^3

OHH so you always divide instead of multiply by 0.033? That's where I was getting lost! The formula expression seemed like you are multiplying the reactants and not dividing

It’s always products over reactants
