Given the equilibrium constants `HgCl^(o+)+Cl^(ɵ) rarr HgCl_(2), K_(1)=3xx10^(6)` `HgCl_(2)+Cl^(ɵ) rarr HgCl_(3)^(ɵ), K_(2)=8.9` The equilibrium constant for the disproportionation equilibrium `2HgCl_(2) rarr HgCl^(o+)+HgCl_(3)^(ɵ)` isA. `-3.3xx10^(5)`B. `3xx10^(-5)`C. `3.3xx10^(5)`D. `3xx10^(-6)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
a. `HgCl^(o+)+Cl^(ɵ) rarr HgCl_(2) … K_(1)`
b. `HgCl_(2)+Cl^(ɵ) rarr HgCl_(3) …K_(2)`
The eq. constant (k) for the reaction,
`2HgCl_(2) rarr HgCl^(o+)+HgCl_(3)^(ɵ)`
Can be obtained by reversing equation (a) and adding to equation (b).
`K=1/K_(1)xxK_(2)=K_(2)/K_(1)=8.9/(3xx10^(6))~~3xx10^(-6)`
