JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Question Bank Mock Test - Chemical Equilibrium

  • question_answer
    For the following three reactions, 1, 2 and 3, equilibrium constants are given
    (1) \[C{{O}_{(g)}}+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{(g)}}\rightleftarrows C{{O}_{2(g)}}+{{H}_{2(g)}};{{K}_{1}}\]
    (2) \[C{{H}_{4(g)}}\]\[+{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{(g)}}\rightleftarrows \]\[C{{O}_{(g)}}\]\[3{{H}_{2(g)}};{{K}_{2}}\]
    (3) \[C{{H}_{4(g)}}+2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{(g)}}\rightleftarrows C{{O}_{2(g)}}+4{{H}_{2(g)}};{{K}_{3}}\]
    Which of the following relationship is correct?

    A)  \[{{K}_{1}}\sqrt{{{K}_{2}}}={{K}_{3}}\]                  

    B) \[{{K}_{2}}{{K}_{3}}={{K}_{1}}\]

    C) \[{{K}_{3}}={{K}_{1}}{{K}_{2}}\]   

    D) \[{{K}_{3}}.\,{{K}^{3}}_{2}={{K}^{2}}_{1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[CO(g)+{{H}_{2}}O(g)\rightleftharpoons C{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}(g);{{K}_{1}}\]    (1) \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g);{{K}_{2}}\]      (2) \[C{{H}_{4}}+2{{H}_{2}}O(g)\rightleftharpoons C{{O}_{2}}(g)+4{{H}_{2}}(g);{{K}_{3}}\]      (3) Eq. (3) = eq. (1)+eq.(2) Thus, \[{{K}_{3}}={{K}_{1}}.{{K}_{2}}\]
