Hmmm I guess that i was mixing up determing reaction order and writing the equilibrium constant. Eitherwy, I need massive help with understanding where the problem is going. I've read up on reaction rates and kinetics from Atkins physical chemistry and from my gen chem book, but I still can't...

But that's just a standard definition of equilibrium...why do you say that it's not?

1. question http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7804721900_bd0b895954_b.jpg On a catalyst surface, the formation reaction of CO2 by the oxidation of CO with O2 proceeds in the following mechanism. (1) O2(g) + 2V <---> 2O(ads) (equilibrium constant KO2) (2) CO(g) + V <--> CO(ads)...
