- A
- B+
- C-
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Write the given equilibria and their constants
For the equilibrium constant is
For the equilibrium constant is
-
Add the two reactions
Adding,
The intermediate species and cancel out.
-
Use the rule for equilibrium constants
When two equilibrium reactions are added, their equilibrium constants are multiplied.
Therefore, for the equilibrium constant is
-
Direct verification by multiplying expressions
And this is exactly the equilibrium constant for
-
Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Hence, the correct option is D.
