For the reaction, N2( g)+O2( g)⇌2NO(g)\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})N2​( g)+O2​( g)⇌2NO(g), the equilibrium constant is K1\mathrm{K}_1K1​. The equilibrium constant is K2\mathrm{K}_2K2​ for 2NO(g)+O2( g)⇌2NO2( g)2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_2(\mathrm{~g})2NO(g)+O2​( g)⇌2NO2​( g). What is K for the reaction NO2( g)⇌12 N2( g)+O2( g)?\mathrm{NO}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~N}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) ?NO2​( g)⇌21​ N2​( g)+O2​( g)?
