KVPY2013ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
Consider the equilibria (1) and (2) with equilibrium constants K ₁ and K ₂ , respectively array l SO ₂( ~g )+ 1 2 O ₂( ~g ) SO ₃( ~g ) ...(1) 2 SO ₃( ~g ) 2 SO ₂( ~g )+ O ₂( ~g ) ...(2) array K ₁ and K ₂ are related as
Options
- A2 ~K ₁= K ₂ ²
- BK ₁ ²= 1 ~K ₂
- CK ₂²= 1 ~K ₁
- DK ₂= 2 ~K ₁²
Correct answer
B. K ₁ ²= 1 ~K ₂
Step-by-step solution
. K ₁= [ sO ₃ ] [ O ₂ ]^ 1 2 [ SO ₂ ] ] K ₂= [ SO ₂ ]² [ O ₂ ] [ SO ₃ ]² Hence: K ₂= 1 ~K ₁² ~K ₁²= 1 ~K ₂
