Work Step by Step

The number of independent equilibrium constant expressions = number of independent reactions among these species. We are given $6$ species. Only $3$ independent equilibrium reactions can be written among these $6$ species, given they are made of just $H$, $O$, and $N$ atoms. The correct answer is (c).
