Work Step by Step

(a) This reaction is the reverse of the known $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ reaction. The equilibrium constant is then $1 / K_P$ (b) This reaction is the reverse of the known $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ reaction at a different pressure. Since pressure has no effect on the equilibrium constant, $$ 1 / K_P $$ (c) This reaction is the same as the known $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ reaction multiplied by 3 . The quilibirium constant is then $$ K_P^3 $$ (d) This is the same as reaction (c) occurring at a different pressure. Since pressure has no effect on the equilibrium constant,$$ K_P^3 $$
