Slide 11 of Relationships Involving the Equilibrium Constant  Reversing an equation causes inversion of K.  Multiplying by coefficients by a common factor raises the equilibrium constant to the corresponding power.  Dividing the coefficients by a common factor causes the equilibrium constant to be taken to that root.
