Question

Given the following reactions and associated equilibrium constants, determine K3 in terms of K1 and K2.

2 CO(g) +  O2(g)  ⇄ 2CO2(g)                      K1

H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)  ⇄  H2O(g)                     K2

CO(g) + H2O(g)  ⇄  CO2(g) + H2(g)           K3

 

a. K3 = (K1)1/2 x (K2)1/2

b. K3 = K1 x K2

c. K3 = K1 / K2

d. K3 = (K1)1/2 / K2
