Equilibrium - Result Question 18

####19. If K1 and K2 are the respective equilibrium constants for the two reactions

XeF6(g)+H2O(g)XeOF4(g)+2HF(g)

XeO4(g)+XeF6(g)XeOF4(g)+XeO3F2(g)

the equilibrium constant of the reaction

XeO4(g)+2HF(g)XeO3F2(g)+H2O(g) will be

[1998]

(a) K1/(K2)2

(b) K1K2

(c) K1/K2

(d) K2/K1

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) For the reaction

XeF6(g)+H2O(g)XeOF4(g)+2HF(g)

K1=[XeOF4][HF]2[XeF6][H2O]

and for the reaction

XeO4(g)+XeF6(g)XeOF4(g)+HeO3F2(g)

K2=[XeOF4][XeO3F2][XeO4][XeF6]

For reaction :

XeO4(g)+2HF(g)XeO3F2(g)+H2O(g) K=[XeO3F2][H2O][XeO4][HF]2

From eq. no. (a) and (b)

K=K2/K1
