    If \[{{K}_{1}}\]and \[{{K}_{2}}\] are the equilibrium constants of the equilibria A and B respectively, what is the relationship between the two constants? (i)\[S{{O}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons S{{O}_{3}}(g);{{K}_{1}}\] (ii) \[2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g);{{K}_{2}}\]

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

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

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

    D)  \[K_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{{{K}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[S{{O}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\overset{{{K}_{1}}}{\mathop{\rightleftharpoons }}\,S{{O}_{3}}\] \[{{K}_{1}}=\frac{[S{{O}_{3}}]}{[S{{O}_{2}}]{{[{{O}_{2}}]}^{1/2}}}\]                                           ?(i) \[2\,S{{O}_{3}}\overset{{{K}_{2}}}{\mathop{\rightleftharpoons }}\,2S{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\] \[{{K}_{2}}=\frac{{{[S{{O}_{2}}]}^{2}}[{{O}_{2}}]}{{{[S{{O}_{3}}]}^{2}}}\]                                (ii) On squaring the equation (1) and multiply equation (1) and equation (2), we get \[K_{1}^{2}=\frac{[S{{O}_{3}}]}{{{[S{{O}_{2}}]}^{2}}[{{O}_{2}}]}\] \[K_{1}^{2}\times {{K}_{2}}=\frac{{{[S{{O}_{3}}]}^{2}}}{{{[S{{O}_{2}}]}^{2}}[{{O}_{2}}]}\times \frac{{{[S{{O}_{2}}]}^{2}}+[{{O}_{2}}]}{{{[S{{O}_{3}}]}^{2}}}\] \[K_{1}^{2}\times {{K}_{2}}=1\] \[{{K}_{2}}=\frac{1}{K_{1}^{2}}\]                 or            \[K_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{{{K}_{2}}}\]
