. For the reaction, A


For the reaction, A(g) +  2B(g) For the reaction 2C(g), the rate constants for the forward and the reverse reactions are 1 ×10–4 and 2.5 × 10–2 respectively. The value of equilibrium constant, K for the reaction would be

(A)    1 × 10–4  

(B)    2.5 × 10–2

(C)    4 × 10–3  

(D)    2.5 × 102

Best Answer

(C)

Forward reaction

A  (g) +   2B (g)  reaction  2C (g)

rf = kf [A] [B]2

reverse reaction

2C  reverse reactions  A  +  2B

rb = kb [C]2

rf = rb

kf [A] [B]2 = kb[C]2

reverse reactions
