The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant for the reaction: \[ 2NH_3(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + 3H_2O(g) \] we will use the given reactions and their equilibrium constants: 1. \( N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g), \quad K_1 \) 2. \( N_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g), \quad K_2 \) 3. \( H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g), \quad K_3 \) ### Step 1: Reverse the first equation Since we need \( 2NH_3 \) on the reactant side, we reverse the first equation: \[ 2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \] The equilibrium constant for the reversed reaction is: \[ K_4 = \frac{1}{K_1} \] ### Step 2: Use the second equation as is The second equation is already in the required form: \[ N_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) \] The equilibrium constant remains: \[ K_2 \] ### Step 3: Multiply the third equation by 3 We need \( 3H_2O \) on the product side, so we multiply the third equation by 3: \[ 3H_2(g) + \frac{3}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 3H_2O(g) \] The equilibrium constant for this modified reaction is: \[ K_5 = K_3^3 \] ### Step 4: Combine the equations Now we combine the modified equations: 1. From the reversed first equation: \[ 2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \quad (K_4 = \frac{1}{K_1}) \] 2. From the second equation: \[ N_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) \quad (K_2) \] 3. From the modified third equation: \[ 3H_2(g) + \frac{3}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 3H_2O(g) \quad (K_5 = K_3^3) \] ### Step 5: Add the equations When we add the equations, we get: \[ 2NH_3(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + 3H_2O(g) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the overall equilibrium constant The overall equilibrium constant \( K \) for the combined reaction is given by: \[ K = K_4 \cdot K_2 \cdot K_5 = \left(\frac{1}{K_1}\right) \cdot K_2 \cdot (K_3^3) \] Thus, we have: \[ K = \frac{K_2 \cdot K_3^3}{K_1} \] ### Final Answer The equilibrium constant for the reaction \( 2NH_3(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + 3H_2O(g) \) is: \[ K = \frac{K_2 \cdot K_3^3}{K_1} \] ---

To find the equilibrium constant for the reaction: \[ 2NH_3(g) + \frac{5}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + 3H_2O(g) \] we will use the given reactions and their equilibrium constants: 1. \( N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g), \quad K_1 \) 2. \( N_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g), \quad K_2 \) ...
