The correct Answer is:
To find the relationship between the equilibrium constants \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \) for the given reactions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the given reactions and their equilibrium constants 1. The first reaction is: \[ 2NH_3 \rightleftharpoons N_2 + 3H_2 \quad (K_1) \] 2. The second reaction is: \[ \frac{1}{2}N_2 + \frac{3}{2}H_2 \rightleftharpoons NH_3 \quad (K_2) \] ### Step 2: Relate the second reaction to the first To relate \( K_2 \) to \( K_1 \), we can manipulate the second reaction. The second reaction can be multiplied by 2 to match the stoichiometry of the first reaction: \[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 \] When we multiply the entire reaction by 2, the equilibrium constant for the reaction changes as follows: \[ K' = K_2^2 \] This means: \[ K' = K_2^2 \] ### Step 3: Reverse the reaction Now, we need to reverse this reaction to compare it with the first reaction: \[ 2NH_3 \rightleftharpoons N_2 + 3H_2 \] When we reverse a reaction, the equilibrium constant becomes the reciprocal: \[ K_1 = \frac{1}{K'} \] Substituting \( K' \) with \( K_2^2 \): \[ K_1 = \frac{1}{K_2^2} \] ### Step 4: Final relationship between \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \) From the above steps, we can conclude the relationship between the two equilibrium constants: \[ K_1 = \frac{1}{K_2^2} \] ### Summary of the solution The relationship between the equilibrium constants \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \) is: \[ K_1 = \frac{1}{K_2^2} \]
