Multiple choice

If K1, K2 be the equilibrium constants of two individual reactions and K3 is the equilibrium constant of a reaction obtained by addition of these two reactions, then correct relation between K1, K2 and K3 will be

  1. K3 = K1/K2

  2. K1 = K3/K2

  3. K1 = K2.K3

  4. K2 = K1.K3

B Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct as the given option may be written as K3  =  K1.K2And when two reactions are added to give the third reaction then equilibrium constant of the third reaction is always the product of the equilibrium constant of the individual reactions.
