At a given temperature and pressure the equilibrium constant values for the equilibria are given below.
3A2+B2⇌2A3B,K1
A3B⇌32A2+12B2,K2
The relation K1 and K2 is [2024]
(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
