AIPMT PRELIMS 2007 Chemistry Equilibrium Constants MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

The following equilibrium constants are given:

N2+3H22NH3;K1\text{N}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3 ; K_1

N2+O22NO;K2\text{N}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO} ; K_2

H2+12O2H2O;K3\text{H}_2 + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_2\text{O} ; K_3

The equilibrium constant for the oxidation of NH3\text{NH}_3 by oxygen to give NO\text{NO} is

A

K2K32K1\frac{K_2 K_3^2}{K_1}

B

K22K3K1\frac{K_2^2 K_3}{K_1}

C

K1K2K3\frac{K_1 K_2}{K_3}

D

K2K33K1\frac{K_2 K_3^3}{K_1}

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction can be calculated using the equilibrium constants of the individual reactions. By manipulating the given reactions, the overall equilibrium constant K can be determined.
