MCQ
The equilibrium constants of the following are

$N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons  2NH_3 \,;$        $K_1$

$N_2 + O_2 \rightleftharpoons  2NO\,;$               $K_2$

$H_2 + 2 O_2 \rightleftharpoons  H_2O\,;$          $K_3$

The equilibrium constant $(K)$ of the reaction :

$2NH_3 + \frac{5}{2} \overset K \leftrightarrows 2NO + 3H_2O$

  • $K_2K_3^3/K_1$
  • B
    $K_2K_3/K_1$
  • C
    $K_2^3K_3 /K_1$
  • D
    $K_1K_3^3/K_2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$K_2K_3^3/K_1$
a
$\mathrm{N}_{2}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \quad \mathrm{K}_{1} \dots (1)$

$\mathrm{N}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO} \quad \mathrm{K}_{2}\dots (2)$

$\mathrm{H}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{K}_{3} \dots (3)$

For reaction $2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\frac{5}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{k}}{\rightleftharpoons} 2 \mathrm{NO}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \dots (4)$

equation $( 4) =$ equation $(2)+3 \times$ equation $(3)-$ equation $( 1)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{K}_{3}^{3}}{\mathrm{K}_{1}},$
