The equilibrium constant for the reaction SO3(g) SO2(g) + 12O2(g) is Kc = 4.9 10-2. The value of Kc for the reaction given below 2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g) is :
- 49
- 416
- 41.6
- 4.9
Answer
(2) 416
Solution
Required reaction = (given reaction) reversed and multiplied by 2
∵ on reversing, K becomes 1Kc; on multiplying by 2, K is squared
Kc' = ( 1Kc )2
= ( 14.9 10-2 )2
= (20.4)2 416
Answer: (2)
