This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
The reduction of iron(III) oxide to iron during steel-making can be summarized by this sequence of reactions:
;
;
The net reaction is:
;
Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K be sure you use their standard symbols.
Answer : The equilibrium expression will be:
Explanation :
The intermediate reaction are:
(1) ;
(2) ;
The net reaction is:
;
Now we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3 and reaction 2 by 2 and then adding both the reaction we get the net reaction.
(1) ;
(2) ;
If the equation is multiplied by a factor of '2' or '3', the equilibrium constant will be the power of 2 or 3 of the equilibrium constant of initial reaction.
If the equations are added then the equilibrium constant of the reactions will be multiplied.
Thus the equilibrium expression will be:
The reaction is of order three with respect to the reactant.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
The rate of a reaction of order n about a certain reactant is proportion to the concentration of that reactant raised to the n-th power. This is true only if concentrations of any other reactants stay constant in the whole process.
In other words, Rate = constant × [Reactant]ⁿ, Rate ∝ [Reactant]ⁿ. (The symbol "∝" reads "proportional to".)
In this question,
[4 × Reactant]ⁿ ÷ [Reactant]ⁿ = 64.
In other words, 4ⁿ = 64, where n is the order of the reaction with respect to this reactant.
It might take some guesswork to find the value of n. Alternatively, n can be solved directly with a calculator using logarithms. Taking natural log of both sides:
.
Evaluating on Google or on a calculator with support for ln (the natural log) will give the value of n- no guesswork required.
n = 3. Therefore, the reaction is of order three with respect to this reactant.

The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a liquid (at a any temperature) is called the solubility of the substance, (in this case water).
