Q13 / 87 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Chemical Equilibrium

K1 and K2 are the respective equilibrium constant for the reactions
(i) XeF6(g)+H2O(g)⇌XeOF4(g)+2HF(g);K1
(ii) XeO4(g)+XeF6(g)⇌XeOF4(g)+XeO3F2;K2
The equilibrium constant for the reaction
XeO4(g)+2HF(g)⇌XeO3F2(g)+H2O(g) will be

  • A
    K1K22
  • B
    K1-K2
  • C
    K1K2
  • Correct answer
    D
    K2K1

Solution

(i) XeF6(g)+H2O(g)⇌XeOF4(g)+2HF(g);K1
(ii) XeO4(g)+XeF6(g)⇌XeOF4(g)+XeO3F2;K2
Required equation
XeO4(g)+2HF(g)⇌XeO3F2(g)+H2O(g)
It is obtained by subtracting (i) from (ii), hence equilibrium constant of the required equation will be
K2K1.

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