Question

If, at a given temperature, the equilibrium constant for the reaction H2(g) Cl2(g) 2HCl(g) is Kp, then the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCl(g) (1/2) H2(g) (1/2)Cl2 (g) can be represented as:

Answer 1

The equilibrium constant for the reaction HCl(g) (1/2) H2(g) (1/2)Cl2 (g) can be represented as K' = K^(1/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this reaction, the stoichiometric coefficients of the given reaction are divided by 2, so the equilibrium constant is calculated as follows:

K' = K(1/2)
