Please see the attachment and calculate the equilibrium constant.
Thanks....

What does it mean for the reaction to be at equilibrium?

What is the formula for equilibrium constant?  What terms does that formula have, that match the values you've been given.  And what do you have to figure out?  This is how you'll learn to figure these sort of problems out for yourself.

The notation seems intimidating, but it's not too hard; have a look here, it should clear things up for you.
