AIIMS 2000 Chemistry Equilibrium Constant MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A vessel of one litre capacity containing 1 mole of SO₃ is heated till a state of equilibrium is attained. 2SO₃ (g) ⇌ 2SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g). At equilibrium, 0.6 moles of SO₂ had formed. The value of equilibrium constant is

A

0.18

B

0.36

C

0.45

D

0.68

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

At equilibrium, 0.6 moles of SO₂ are formed, which means 0.3 moles of O₂ are formed. The equilibrium constant Kc is calculated using the expression Kc = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]². Substituting the equilibrium concentrations gives Kc = 0.36.
