Correct answer: B

  1. Given reaction and equilibrium constant

The given reaction is:

N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)N2​(g)+3H2​(g)⇌2NH3​(g)

with

KC=64K_C = 64KC​=64

  1. Required reaction

We need the value of KCK_CKC​ for:

NH3(g)⇌12N2(g)+32H2(g)NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}N_2(g) + \frac{3}{2}H_2(g)NH3​(g)⇌21​N2​(g)+23​H2​(g)

  1. Relate the required reaction to the given one

First, reverse the given reaction:

2NH3(g)⇌N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)2NH3​(g)⇌N2​(g)+3H2​(g)

When a reaction is reversed, the equilibrium constant becomes reciprocal:

KC′=164K_C' = \frac{1}{64}KC′​=641​

  1. Now divide the entire reaction by 2

Dividing

2NH3(g)⇌N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)2NH3​(g)⇌N2​(g)+3H2​(g)

by 2 gives:

NH3(g)⇌12N2(g)+32H2(g)NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}N_2(g) + \frac{3}{2}H_2(g)NH3​(g)⇌21​N2​(g)+23​H2​(g)

When all stoichiometric coefficients are multiplied by a factor nnn, the equilibrium constant becomes KnK^nKn.

Here, coefficients are divided by 2, so the new equilibrium constant is:

KC′′=(164)1/2K_C'' = \left(\frac{1}{64}\right)^{1/2}KC′′​=(641​)1/2

KC′′=18K_C'' = \frac{1}{8}KC′′​=81​

  1. Final answer

18\boxed{\frac{1}{8}}81​​

So the correct option is B.
