Exρlαnαtion:

Here they have been given that equilibrium constant of reaction SO₃ ⇌ SO₂ + ½ O₂ is 0.18 at temperature of 900K . Here they have been asked to calculate the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction of SO₂ + ½ O₂ ⇌SO₃. Let's see the process.

[tex] \sf \: SO_3 \leftrightharpoons \: SO_2 + \: \frac{1}{2} O_2[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c = \dfrac{(SO₂) ( O₂) {}^{ \dfrac{1}{2} } }{SO_3} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: 0.18= \dfrac{(SO₂) ( O₂) {}^{ \dfrac{1}{2} } }{SO_3} \: \: \: \: (1)[/tex]

Now, writing the Kc value of the reaction

SO₂ + ½ O₂ ⇌SO₃

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{SO_3 }{(SO₂) ( O₂) {}^{ \dfrac{1}{2} } } [/tex]

By observing Kc and Kc` we can say that kc = 1/kc`

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{1}{K_c} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{1}{0.18} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{1}{ \bigg(\dfrac{18}{100}\bigg) } [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{100}{ 18 } [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = \dfrac{50}{ 9 } [/tex]

[tex] \sf \: K_c' = 5.55...[/tex]

The equilibrium constant for the reaction SO2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) ⇌ SO3 (g) is 5.55..

If you know the answer add it here!
