Consider the following gaseous equilibria with equilibrium constant `K_(1) "and" K_(2)` respectively.`SO_(2)(g)+1/2O_(2)(g) rarr SO_(3)(g), 2SO_(3)(g) rarr 2SO_(2)(g) + O_(2)(g)`
The equilibrium constant are related as :

A

`2K_(1)=K_(2)^(2)`

B

`K_(1)^(2)=(1)/(K_(2))`

C

`K_(2)^(2)=(1)/(K_(1))`

D

`K_(2)=(2)/(K_(1)^(2))`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

Consider the following gaseous equilibria with equilibrium constant `K_(1) "and" K_(2)` respectively.`SO_(2)(g)+1/2O_(2)(g) rarr SO_(3)(g), 2SO_(3)(g) rarr 2SO_(2)(g) + O_(2)(g)`The equilibrium constant are related as :
