Question

For the following three reactions a, b, c, equilibrium constants are given:
1. $C O$ $(g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$ ; $K_{1}$
2. $C H_{4} (g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O (g) + 3 H_{2} (g); K_{2}$
3. $C H_{4} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O_{2} (g) + 4 H_{2} (g); K_{3}$

Solution

The correct option is A $K_{3} = K_{1} K_{2}$
$C O (g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$ ; $K_{1}$
$C H_{4} (g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O (g) + 3 H_{2} (g); K_{2}$
Adding both equations, we get

$C H_{4} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O_{2} (g) + 4 H_{2} (g); K_{3} = K_{1} \times K_{2}$

So, $K_{3} = K_{1} K_{2}$

Hence, option A is correct
