For the reaction $SO_{2(g)} + 1/2 O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons SO_{3(g)}$,the equilibrium constant is $K_1$ at $298 \, K$. For the reaction $2SO_{3(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$ at the same temperature,the equilibrium constant is $K_2$. Then,which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $K_1 = K_2$
  • B
    $K_2 = K_1^2$
  • C
    $K_2 = 1/K_1^2$
  • D
    $K_2 = 1/K_1$

Dihydrogen gas used in Haber's process is produced by reacting methane from natural gas with high temperature steam. The first stage of two stage reaction involves the formation of $CO$ and $H_2$. In second stage,$CO$ formed in first stage is reacted with more steam in water gas shift reaction,
$CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)} \longleftrightarrow CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)}$
If a reaction vessel at $400^{\circ}C$ is charged with an equimolar mixture of $CO$ and steam such that $P_{CO} = P_{H_2O} = 4.0 \ bar,$ what will be the partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium? $K_p = 10.1$ at $400^{\circ}C$

For the reaction: $H_{2(g)} + CO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}$,if the initial concentration of $[H_2] = [CO_2] = 1 \ M$ and $x \ mol/L$ of hydrogen is consumed at equilibrium,the correct expression for $K_c$ is:
