Q28 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Chemistry
What is the equilibrium expression for the reaction $\mathrm{P}_{4(\mathrm{~s})}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10(\mathrm{~s}}$ ?
- A$\left.\mathrm{Kc}=\left[\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10}\right] / \mathrm{P}_4\right]\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]^5$
- Correct answerB$\mathrm{Kc}=1 /\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]^5$
- C$\mathrm{Kc}=\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]^5$
- D$\mathrm{Kc}=\left[\mathrm{P}_4 \mathrm{O}_{10}\right] / 5\left[\mathrm{P}_4\right]\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]$
Solution
Applying law of mass action
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
