The correct Answer is:
To determine the relationship between the equilibrium constants \( K \) and \( K' \) for the given reactions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Equilibrium Expressions For the first reaction: \[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 \] The equilibrium constant \( K \) is given by: \[ K = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3} \] For the second reaction: \[ \frac{1}{2} N_2 + \frac{3}{2} H_2 \rightleftharpoons NH_3 \] The equilibrium constant \( K' \) is given by: \[ K' = \frac{[NH_3]}{[N_2]^{1/2}[H_2]^{3/2}} \] ### Step 2: Relate the Two Equilibrium Constants To relate \( K' \) to \( K \), we can manipulate the expression for \( K' \). Notice that \( K' \) can be rewritten in terms of \( K \): \[ K' = \frac{[NH_3]}{[N_2]^{1/2}[H_2]^{3/2}} = \frac{[NH_3]}{(N_2)^{1/2}(H_2)^{3/2}} = \frac{[NH_3]}{(N_2)^{1/2}(H_2)^{3/2}} = \frac{[NH_3]}{(N_2)^{1/2}(H_2)^{3/2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Expression From the expression for \( K' \), we can see that: \[ K' = K^{1/2} \] This means that \( K' \) is the square root of \( K \). ### Conclusion Thus, the relationship between \( K \) and \( K' \) is: \[ K' = \sqrt{K} \]
