Consider the following gaseous equilibria with equilibrium constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively:
$SO_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons SO_{3(g)}$
$2 SO_{3(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$
The equilibrium constants are related as:

  • A
    $2 K_{1} = K_{2}^{2}$
  • B
    $K_{1}^{2} = \frac{1}{K_{2}}$
  • C
    $K_{2}^{2} = \frac{1}{K_{1}}$
  • D
    $K_{2} = \frac{2}{K_{1}^{2}}$

Observe the following equilibrium in a $1 \text{ L}$ flask. $A_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons B_{(g)}$. At $T \text{ K}$, the equilibrium concentrations of $A$ and $B$ are $0.5 \text{ M}$ and $0.375 \text{ M}$ respectively. $0.1 \text{ moles}$ of $A$ is added into the flask and heated to $T \text{ K}$ to establish the equilibrium again.

Equilibrium constant,$K_{c}$ for the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longleftrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$ at $500 \, K$ is $0.061$. At a particular time,the analysis shows that the composition of the reaction mixture is $[N_{2}] = 3.0 \, mol \, L^{-1}$,$[H_{2}] = 2.0 \, mol \, L^{-1}$,and $[NH_{3}] = 0.5 \, mol \, L^{-1}$. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not,in which direction does the reaction tend to proceed to reach equilibrium?

At $T(K)$,the equilibrium constant of $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 HI_{(g)}$ is $49$. If $[H_2]$ and $[I_2]$ at equilibrium at the same temperature are $2.0 \times 10^{-2} \ M$ and $8.0 \times 10^{-2} \ M$ respectively,the $[HI]$ at equilibrium in $mol \ L^{-1}$ is:

If the equilibrium constant for the reaction $2AB \rightleftharpoons A_2 + B_2$ is $49$,then the equilibrium constant for the reaction $AB \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}A_2 + \frac{1}{2}B_2$ will be:
