Answer:K subscript e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C upper O subscript 2 EndBracket StartBracket upper C a upper O EndBracket over StartBracket upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 EndBracket EndFraction

Explanation: the answer has it's root in Law of mass action which states that; the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
