MCQ
Equilibrium constants ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$ for the following equilibriam

$NO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \rightleftharpoons N{O_2}_{(g)}$

$2N{O_2}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)} + {O_2}_{(g)}$

  • A
    ${K_2} = \frac{1}{{{K_1}}}$
  • B
    ${K_2} = K_1^2$
  • C
    ${K_2} = \frac{{{K_1}}}{2}$
  • ${K_2} = \frac{1}{{K_1^2}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${K_2} = \frac{1}{{K_1^2}}$
(d) ${K_1} = \frac{{[N{O_2}]}}{{[NO]{{[{O_2}]}^{1/2}}}}$; ${K_2} = \frac{{{{[NO]}^2}[{O_2}]}}{{{{[N{O_2}]}^2}}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{{[N{O_2}]}^2}}}{{{{[NO]}^2}[{O_2}]}} = \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{[N{O_2}]}}{{[NO]\;{{[{O_2}]}^{1/2}}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{K_2}} }}$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${K_1} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{K_2}} }}$; ${K_2} = \frac{1}{{K_1^2}}$
