Homework Statement



I'm studying for a final that I'm taking tomorrow and am stuck on the following:

Calculate Kc for the reaction:

4NOBr (g) [itex]\Leftrightarrow[/itex] 4NO (g) + 2Br2 (g)

given the following information:

2NO(g) + Br2 (g) [itex]\Leftrightarrow[/itex] 2NOBr (g); K = 2.0

Homework Equations



Not sure about which equations other than Kc = [itex]\frac{[products]}{[reactions]}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I can't even start this answer. My first assumption of where to start was to write the second equation backwards, just so it looked like the first!??
