The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given reactions and their equilibrium constants. We will derive the relationship between the equilibrium constants based on the transformations of the reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions and Their Equilibrium Constants:** - Reaction I: \( H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_1 \) - Reaction II: \( C_2H_4(g) + 3O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_2 \) - Reaction III: \( C_2H_6(g) + \frac{7}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2CO_2(g) + 3H_2O(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_3 \) - Reaction IV: \( C_2H_4(g) + H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons C_2H_6(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_4 \) 2. **Combine Reactions I and II:** - We will add Reaction I and Reaction II to create a new reaction. - The combined reaction will be: \[ H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g) + C_2H_4(g) + 3O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g) + 2CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) \] - Simplifying the products gives: \[ C_2H_4(g) + H_2(g) + \frac{7}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2CO_2(g) + 3H_2O(g) \] - The equilibrium constant for this combined reaction is: \[ K = K_1 \cdot K_2 \] 3. **Subtract Reaction III from the Combined Reaction:** - Now, we need to subtract Reaction III from the combined reaction to isolate Reaction IV. - Reaction III is: \[ C_2H_6(g) + \frac{7}{2}O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2CO_2(g) + 3H_2O(g) \] - When we subtract Reaction III from the combined reaction, we get: \[ C_2H_4(g) + H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons C_2H_6(g) \] - The equilibrium constant for this reaction (Reaction IV) is: \[ K_4 = \frac{K_1 \cdot K_2}{K_3} \] 4. **Final Relationship:** - Therefore, the relationship between the equilibrium constants is: \[ K_4 = \frac{K_1 \cdot K_2}{K_3} \] ### Conclusion: The correct relation among the equilibrium constants is: \[ K_4 = \frac{K_1 \cdot K_2}{K_3} \]
