Answer:

C.) [tex]K = {[CO_{2} ]^{2} [H_2O] }[/tex]

Explanation:

The general equilibrium expression looks like this:

[tex]K = \frac{[B]^b[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}} }[/tex]

In this expression,

-----> K = equilibrium constant

-----> uppercase letters = formulas

-----> lowercase letters = balanced equation coefficients

Solids are not included in the expression, so Ca(HCO₃)₂(s) and CaO(s) should be left out. The products should be in the numerator and the reactants are in the denominator. This makes the expression:

[tex]K = \frac{[B]^b[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}} }[/tex]                                  <----- Equilibrium expression

[tex]K = {[CO_{2} ]^{c} [H_2O]^{d} }[/tex]                             <----- Insert gaseous formulas

[tex]K = {[CO_{2} ]^{2} [H_2O] }[/tex]                               <----- Insert coefficients
