For the following three reactions I,II and III, equilibrium constants are given 1. CO(g) + H _ 2 O(g) ⇌ CO_ 2 (g) + H _ 2 (g); K _ 1 2. CH_ 4 (g) + H _ 2 O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 3H_ 2 (g); K _ 2 3. CH_ 4 (g) + 2 H _ 2 O(g) ⇌ CO_

Correct answer: C. K _ 3 = K _ 1 K _ 2 As equation 3 is obtained on adding equation 1& and equation 2 , so K _ 3 = K _ 1 ⋅ K _ 2 .

For the following three reactions

\text{I,}\text{II}

and

\text{III,}

equilibrium constants are given
1.

\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right) + {H}_{2} \text{O}\left(\text{g}\right) ⇌ {\text{CO}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right) + {H}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right); {K}_{1}

{\text{CH}_{4} \left(\text{g}\right) + {H}_{2} \text{O}\left(\text{g}\right) ⇌ \text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right) + {\text{3H}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right); {K}_{2}

{\text{CH}_{4} \left(\text{g}\right) + \text{2}{H}_{2} \text{O}\left(\text{g}\right) ⇌ {\text{CO}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right) + \text{4}{H}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right); {K}_{3}

Which of the following relations is correct?

C. ${K}_{3} \text{=}{K}_{1} {K}_{2}$

As equation 3 is obtained on adding equation 1& and equation 2

\text{,}

{K}_{3} \text{=}{K}_{1} ⋅ {K}_{2}.
