    If the equilibrium constant for the reaction \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\] at 750 K is 49, then the equilibrium constant for the reaction \[N{{H}_{3}}(g)\rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}{{N}_{2}}(g)+\frac{3}{2}{{H}_{2}}(g)\]at the same temperature is

    A)  1/49                                     

    B)  49

    C)  7                                            

    D)  \[{{49}^{2}}\]

    E)  1/7

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                    For the reaction \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\] \[{{K}_{c}}=\frac{{{[N{{H}_{3}}]}^{2}}}{[{{N}_{2}}]\,{{[{{H}_{2}}]}^{3}}}\]                               ?(i) For the reaction: \[N{{H}_{3}}(g)\rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}{{N}_{2}}(g)+\frac{3}{2}{{H}_{2}}(g)\] \[{{K}_{c}}=\frac{{{[{{N}_{2}}]}^{1/2}}{{[{{H}_{2}}]}^{3/2}}}{[N{{H}_{3}}]}\]                          ?(ii) From Eqs (i) and (ii)     \[{{K}_{c}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{{{K}_{c}}}}\]                               \[\therefore \,\,{{K}_{c}}=49\] \[\because \]\[{{K}_{c}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{49}}\]                     \[\because \,{{K}_{c}}=\frac{1}{7}\]
