$N O (g) + 0.5 O_{2} (g) \to K_{1} N O_{2} (g)$ and
$2 N O_{2} (g) \to K_{2} 2 N O (g) + O_{2} (g)$

$K_{2} = \frac{1}{K_{1}}$

Solution

The correct option is D
$K_{2} = \frac{1}{K_{1}^{2}}$

$K_{1} = \frac{[N O_{2}]}{[N O] [O_{2}]^{0.5}}$ and

$K_{2} = \frac{[N O]^{2} [O_{2}]}{[N O_{2}]^{2}}$

Or $K_{2} = \frac{1}{K_{1}^{2}}$
