Equilibrium - Result Question 6

####7. For the reaction N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g), the equilibrium constant is K1. The equilibrium constant is K2 for the reaction

[2011]

2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)

What is K for the reaction

NO2(g)12N2(g)+O2(g)?

(a) 1/(2K1K2)

(b) 1/(4K1K2)

(c) [1/K1K2]1/2

(d) 1/(K1K2)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) For the reaction

N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)K1=[NO]2[N2][O2]

For the reaction

2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)K2=[NO2]2[NO2[O2].

For the reaction

NO2(g)12N2(g)+O2(g)K=[N2]12[O2][NO2]

Hence, K=1K1×1K2

K=[N2]12[O2]12[NO]×[NO][O2]12[NO2]=[N2]12[O2][NO2]
