JEE Main2008ChemistryChemical EquilibriumActual
For the following three reactions a, b and c , equilibrium constants are given: a. CO ( g )+ H ₂ O ( g ) CO ₂( ~g )+ H ₂( ~g ) ; K ₁ b. CH ₄( ~g )+ H ₂ O ( g ) CO ( g )+3 H ₂( ~g ) ; K ₂ c. CH ₄( ~g )+2 H ₂ O ( g ) CO ₂( ~g )+4 H ₂( ~g ) ; K ₃ Which of the following relations is correct?
Options
- AK ₁ K ₂ = K ₃
- BK ₂ ~K ₃= K ₁
- CK ₃= K ₁ ~K ₂
- DK ₃ K ₂^3= K ₁^2
Correct answer
C. K ₃= K ₁ ~K ₂
Step-by-step solution
Equation (c) = equation (a) + equation (b) Thus K ₃= K ₁ K ₂
