Q75 / 225 · JEE Main 2002 · Chemistry

For the reaction $\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+(1 / 2) \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g})=\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g}), \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}} / \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}$ is

  • A
    $\mathrm{RT}$
  • B
    $(\mathrm{RT})^{-1}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $(R T)^{-1 / 2}$
  • D
    $(R T)^{1 / 2}$

Solution

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}(\mathrm{RT})^{\Delta n} ; \Delta \mathrm{n}=1-\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)=1-\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$ $\therefore \frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}}=(\mathrm{RT})^{-1 / 2}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
