Equilibrium Question 550
Question: In which of the following equilibria, the value of $ K_{p} $ is less than $ K_{c} $ [MP PMT 1993]
Options:
A) $ H_2+I_2 $ ⇌ $ 2HI $
B) $ N_2+3H_2 $ ⇌ $ 2NH_3 $
C) $ N_2+O_2 $ ⇌ $ 2NO $
D) $ CO+H_2O $ ⇌ $ CO_2+H_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ K_{p}=K_{c}{{(RT)}^{\Delta n}} $ ; When $ \Delta n=2-(2+1)=-1 $ , i.e. negative, $ K_{p}<K_{c} $ .
