Solution

The correct option is C 2.5×103
We are given that the equilibrium constant (Kc) of the reaction 2SO2+O22SO3, when the reaction is conducted in a one litre vessel is 2.5×103.

The magnitude of the equilibrium constant is not affected by the changes in concentrations of reactants and products, pressure and volume.

Hence, if the reaction is carried out in a 1 litre vessel or in a 2 litres vessel, the value of the equilibrium constant remains the same, i.e., 2.5×103.
