Equilibrium Question 719
Question: The equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction, $ N_2+3H_2 \leftrightharpoons 2NH_3 $ is K and for the reaction $ \frac{1}{2}N_2+\frac{3}{2}H_2 \leftrightharpoons NH_3 $ the equilibrium constant is K’. K and K’ will be related as
Options:
A) $ K=K’ $
B) $ K’=\sqrt{K} $
C) $ K=\sqrt{K’} $
D) $ K\times K’=1 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ {K}’=K^{n};Hencen=\frac{1}{2} $
$ \therefore {K}’={K^{1/2}}=\sqrt{K} $
