Question

For the following three reactions a, b and c, equilibrium constants are given:

(1)CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g); K1

(2)CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g); K2

(3)CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) CO2(g) + 4H2(g); K3

Which of the following relations is correct ?

• A. K2 K3 = K1
• B. K3 = K1K2
• C. K3 K23 = K12
• D. K_{1}\sqrt{K_{2}} = K_{3}

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

K3 = K1K2

Answer 2

c = a + b
