The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two equilibrium reactions and their respective equilibrium constants. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Write the reactions and define variables We have two reactions: 1. \( A(s) \rightleftharpoons 2B(g) + 3C(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P1} \) 2. \( A(s) \rightleftharpoons 3D(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P2} \) Let: - \( P_B \) = partial pressure of \( B \) - \( P_C \) = partial pressure of \( C \) - \( P_D \) = partial pressure of \( D \) ### Step 2: Establish the relationships at equilibrium From the problem, we know the molar ratio of \( B \) to \( D \) at equilibrium is \( 1:6 \). This can be expressed as: \[ \frac{P_B}{P_D} = \frac{1}{6} \] ### Step 3: Express partial pressures in terms of a common variable Let’s denote the partial pressure of \( B \) as \( P_B = 2P_1 \) (from the first reaction) and the partial pressure of \( D \) as \( P_D = 3P_2 \) (from the second reaction). Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{2P_1}{3P_2} = \frac{1}{6} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( P_1 \) in terms of \( P_2 \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2P_1 \cdot 6 = 3P_2 \implies 12P_1 = 3P_2 \implies P_1 = \frac{P_2}{4} \] ### Step 5: Write expressions for \( K_{P1} \) and \( K_{P2} \) For the first reaction: \[ K_{P1} = \frac{(P_B)^2 (P_C)^3}{1} = \frac{(2P_1)^2 (3P_1)^3}{1} = 4P_1^2 \cdot 27P_1^3 = 108P_1^5 \] For the second reaction: \[ K_{P2} = \frac{(P_D)^3}{1} = (3P_2)^3 = 27P_2^3 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( P_1 \) in terms of \( P_2 \) into \( K_{P1} \) Now substituting \( P_1 = \frac{P_2}{4} \) into \( K_{P1} \): \[ K_{P1} = 108\left(\frac{P_2}{4}\right)^5 = 108 \cdot \frac{P_2^5}{1024} = \frac{108P_2^5}{1024} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( \frac{K_{P2}}{8K_{P1}} \) Now we can find \( \frac{K_{P2}}{8K_{P1}} \): \[ \frac{K_{P2}}{8K_{P1}} = \frac{27P_2^3}{8 \cdot \frac{108P_2^5}{1024}} = \frac{27P_2^3 \cdot 1024}{864P_2^5} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{27 \cdot 1024}{864} \cdot \frac{1}{P_2^2} = \frac{27648}{864} \cdot \frac{1}{P_2^2} = \frac{32}{P_2^2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the final expression we derived is: \[ \frac{K_{P2}}{8K_{P1}} = \frac{32}{P_2^2} \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two equilibrium reactions and their respective equilibrium constants. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Write the reactions and define variables We have two reactions: 1. \( A(s) \rightleftharpoons 2B(g) + 3C(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P1} \) 2. \( A(s) \rightleftharpoons 3D(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P2} \) Let: ...
