MCQ
For the reaction, $N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons  2NO_{(g)},$ the equilibrium constant is $K_1.$ The equilibrium constant is $K_2$ for the reaction,

$2NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2(g)}$

What is $K$ for the reaction,

$NO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2} N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2K_1K_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4K_1K_2}$
  • ${\left[ {\frac{1}{{{K_1}{K_2}}}} \right]^{1/2}}$
  • D
    ${\frac{1}{{{K_1}{K_2}}}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\left[ {\frac{1}{{{K_1}{K_2}}}} \right]^{1/2}}$
c
$\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g}) ; \mathrm{K}_{1} ...(i)$

$2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) ; \mathrm{K}_{2} ...(ii)$

$\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) ;$

$\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{K}_{1} \times \mathrm{K}_{2}$

therefore, For $\mathrm{NO}_{2}(\mathrm{g})=\mathrm{N}_{2} / 2(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g})$
