Q.

At a given temperature and pressure the equilibrium constant values for the equilibria are given below.

3A2+B22A3B,K1

A3B32A2+12B2,K2

The relation K1 and K2 is                                                               [2024]

1 K12=2K2  
2 K2=K1/2  
3 K1=1K2  
4 K2=1K1  

Ans.

(4)

K1=[A3B]2[A2]3[B2]                                                          ...(i)

K2=[A2]3/2[B2]1/2[A3B]                                                ...(ii)

Taking square root on both sides in eq. (i), we get

K1=[A3B][A2]3/2[B2]1/2

[A3B]=K1[A2]3/2[B2]1/2

Putting the value of [A3B] in eq. (ii), we get

K2=1K1
