From the following data i. `H_(2)(g)+CO_(2)(g) hArr H_(2)O(g)+CO(g), K_(2000 K)=4.40` ii. `2H_(2)O(g) hArr 2H_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g), K_(2000 K)^(I)=5.31xx10^(-10)` iii. `2CO(g)+O_(2)(g) hArr 2CO_(2)(g), K_(1000 K)=2.24xx10^(22)` Show whether reaction (iii) is exothermic or endothermic.

Answer» Correct Answer - reaction is exothermic.
Equation (iii)`=-[2xx(i)+(ii)]`
`therefore K_(20000_(iii)=(1)/(K_(1)^(2)K_(2))=(1)/((4.4)^(2)xx5.31xxxx10^(-10)))=9.7xx10^(7)`
`because TuparrowKdownarrow rArr` reaction is exothermic.
