The incorrect statement is:
The following equilibria are given :
$N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 ; K_1$
$N_2 + O_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NO ; K_2$
$H_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2 \rightleftharpoons H_2O; K_3$
→$N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 ; K_1$
$N_2 + O_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NO ; K_2$
$H_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2 \rightleftharpoons H_2O; K_3$
