At T(K)T(K), the equilibrium constant of A2(g)+B2(g)⇌C(g)A_2(g) + B_2(g) \rightleftharpoons C(g) is 2.7×10−52.7 \times 10^{-5}. What is the equilibrium constant for 13A2(g)+13B2(g)⇌13C(g)\dfrac{1}{3}A_2(g) + \dfrac{1}{3}B_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \dfrac{1}{3}C(g) at the same temperature?

Options

  1. A(2.7×10−5)3(2.7 \times 10^{-5})^3
  2. B6×10−26 \times 10^{-2}
  3. C2.7×10−5\sqrt{2.7 \times 10^{-5}}
  4. D3×10−23 \times 10^{-2}

Correct answer

D. 3×10−23 \times 10^{-2}

Step-by-step solution

For the reaction A2(g)+B2(g)⇌C(g)A_2(g) + B_2(g) \rightleftharpoons C(g), the equilibrium constant is K1=2.7×10−5K_1 = 2.7 \times 10^{-5}.

When a reaction is multiplied by a factor nn, the new equilibrium constant becomes KnK^n.

The given reaction is multiplied by 13\dfrac{1}{3} to obtain the reaction 13A2(g)+13B2(g)⇌13C(g)\dfrac{1}{3}A_2(g) + \dfrac{1}{3}B_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \dfrac{1}{3}C(g).

The new equilibrium constant K2K_2 is given by:

K2=(K1)1/3K_2 = (K_1)^{1/3}

K2=(2.7×10−5)1/3K_2 = (2.7 \times 10^{-5})^{1/3}

K2=(27×10−6)1/3K_2 = (27 \times 10^{-6})^{1/3}

K2=3×10−2K_2 = 3 \times 10^{-2}

Answer: 3×10−23 \times 10^{-2}
