Cosider the following equilibrium reaction and relate their equilibriu

1.	Cosider the following equilibrium reaction and relate their equilibrium constants (i) N_2 + O_(2) hArr 2NO,K_1 (ii) 2NO + O_(2) hArr 2NO_(2), K_2 (iii) N_2 + 2O_(2) hArr 2NO_(2),K_3
Answer» Solution :`K_(1)= ([NO]^2)/([N_2][O_2]),K_(2) = ([NO_2]^2)/([NO]^2[O_2]),K_3 = ([NO_2]^2)/([N_2][O_2])` Now, `K_(1)xx K_(2) = ([NO]^2)/([N_2][O_2])xx([NO_2]^2)/([NO]^2[O_2])=([NO_2]^2)/([N_2][O_2]^2)=K` `THEREFORE"" K_3 = K_1 xx K_2`
