The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant for the reaction: \[ 2AB_3 + \frac{5}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC + 3B_2C \] in terms of \( K_1, K_2, \) and \( K_3 \), we will manipulate the given equilibrium reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Write the given equilibrium reactions 1. \( A_2 + 3B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB_3 \) (Equilibrium constant \( K_1 \)) 2. \( A_2 + C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC \) (Equilibrium constant \( K_2 \)) 3. \( B_2 + \frac{1}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons B_2C \) (Equilibrium constant \( K_3 \)) ### Step 2: Reverse the first reaction To obtain \( 2AB_3 \) on the reactant side, we reverse the first reaction: \[ 2AB_3 \rightleftharpoons A_2 + 3B_2 \] The equilibrium constant for the reversed reaction is: \[ K' = \frac{1}{K_1} \] ### Step 3: Keep the second reaction as it is The second reaction remains unchanged: \[ A_2 + C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC \] The equilibrium constant remains: \[ K_2 \] ### Step 4: Multiply the third reaction by 3 To obtain \( 3B_2C \), we multiply the third reaction by 3: \[ 3(B_2 + \frac{1}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons B_2C) \] This gives: \[ 3B_2 + \frac{3}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons 3B_2C \] The equilibrium constant for this reaction becomes: \[ K' = K_3^3 \] ### Step 5: Combine the reactions Now, we can add the modified reactions together: 1. \( 2AB_3 \rightleftharpoons A_2 + 3B_2 \) (from Step 2) 2. \( A_2 + C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC \) (from Step 3) 3. \( 3B_2 + \frac{3}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons 3B_2C \) (from Step 4) When we add these reactions, the \( A_2 \) cancels out, and we get: \[ 2AB_3 + \frac{5}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC + 3B_2C \] ### Step 6: Combine the equilibrium constants When adding reactions, the equilibrium constants multiply: \[ K_{dash} = \frac{1}{K_1} \cdot K_2 \cdot K_3^3 \] Thus, we can express \( K_{dash} \) as: \[ K_{dash} = \frac{K_2 \cdot K_3^3}{K_1} \] ### Final Answer The equilibrium constant for the reaction \( 2AB_3 + \frac{5}{2}C_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AC + 3B_2C \) in terms of \( K_1, K_2, \) and \( K_3 \) is: \[ K_{dash} = \frac{K_2 \cdot K_3^3}{K_1} \] ---
