Consider the following gaseous equilibrium with equilibriumconstantsK_

1.	Consider the following gaseous equilibrium with equilibriumconstantsK_(1) and K_(2) respectivelySO_(2) (g) + 1/2 O_(2) (g) hArr SO_(3) (g) 2 SO_(3) (g) hArr 2 SO_(2)(g) + O_(2) The equilibrium constants are related as
Answer» ` K_(1)^(2) = 1/K_(2)` ` 2k_(1) = K_(2)^(2)` ` K_(2) = 2/K_(1)^(2)` ` K_(2)^(2) = 1/ K_(1)` SOLUTION :`K_(1) = [SO_(3)]/([SO_(2)] [ O_(2)]^(1//2))K_(2)= ([SO_(2)]^(2)[O_(2)])/([SO_(3)]^(2))` Obviously `K_(1)^(2)= 1/K_(2)`.
