The equilibrium constant for any reaction can be written as (concentration of products) / (concentration of reactants). And we considered constant values for the solids and liquids because their density per unit volume or mass per unit volume does not change.
Thus,
(i) 
K_c = \frac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2}
(ii) 
  K_c = \frac{[CuO]^2[NO_2]^4[O_2]}{[Cu(NO_3)_2]^2}
(iii)
                                                                          
 K_c = \frac{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}{[CH_3COOC_2H5]}       

(iv)
  K_c = \frac{1}{[Fe^{3+}][OH^-]}

(v)
K_c = \frac{[IF_5]^2}{[F_2]^5}
