Sulphide ions...

Question

Sulphide ions in alkaline solution react with solid sulphur to form polyvalent sulphide ions. The equilibrium constant for the formation of $S_{2}^{2 -}$ and $S_{3}^{2 -}$ from S and $S^{2 -}$ ions are 1.7 and 5.3 respectively. Equilibrium constant for the formation of $S_{3}^{- 2}$ from S is:

Solution

The correct option is B
3.11

$S + S^{- 2} ⇌ S_{2}^{- 2}; K_{1} - - - e q - 1$

$2 S + S^{- 2} ⇌ S_{3}^{- 2}; K_{2} - - - e q - 2$

_______________

$S + S_{2}^{- 2} ⇌ S_{3}^{- 2}; K_{3} - - - e q - 3$

$e q - 3 = - (e q - 1) + (e q - 2)$

$K_{3} = \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{5.3}{1.7} = 3.11$
