Solution
The correct option is A3×10−6 CI−+HgCI+⇌HgCI2; K1=3×106 ...... (1) HgCI2+CI−⇌HgCI−3; K2=8.9......(2) 2HgCI2⇌HgCI+HgCI−3......(3). The reaction (1) is reversed and added to reaction (2) to obtain the reaction (3). Hence, the equilibrium constant for the third reaction will be K=8.93×106=3×10−6
