Question

For the following reactions 1 and 2, equilibrium constants are given:
(1) $C H_{4} (g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O (g) + 3 H_{2} (g); K_{1}$
(2) $C H_{4} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O (g) + 4 H_{2} (g); K_{2}$
The correct relation between there equilibrium constant is:

K_{1} = \sqrt{K_{2}}

Solution

The correct option is C none of these
The equilibrium constant expressions are given below.

$K_{1} = \frac{[C O] [H_{2}]^{3}}{[C H_{4}] [H_{2} O]}$
$K_{2} = \frac{[C O] [H_{2}]^{4}}{[C H_{4}] [H_{2} O]^{2}}$
From the values of $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ , we can see that there is no accurate relation between $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ .
