AIPMT PRELIMS 2008 Chemistry Equilibrium Constants MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

The value of equilibrium constant of the reaction, HI(g) ⇌ 1/2 H₂(g) + 1/2I₂(g) is 8.0. The equilibrium constant of the reaction, H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) will be -

A

16

B

1/8

C

1/16

D

1/64

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is the reciprocal of the given reaction. Since the reaction is reversed and doubled, K = (1/8.0)² = 16.
