Solution
The correct option is CK2K1 First reaction is reversed and added to the second reaction to obtain the third reaction. Hence, the equilibrium constant for the third reaction is the ratio of the equilibrium constants of second and first reaction. Thus, K=K2K1. K1=[XeOF4][HF]2[XeF6][H2O] K2=[XeOF4][XeO3F2][XeO4][XeF6] K=[XeO3F2][H2O][XeO4][HF]2=K2K1.
