Question

For the reaction: 2A + B ⇌ 3C, K = 0.5. What is the value of K for the reaction 6C ⇌ 4A + 2B at the same temperature?
Options
A 0.25
B 0.125
C 4.0
Correct Answer
D 8.0
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The target reaction is the reverse of twice the original. K_rev = 1/0.5 = 2. Then squaring: (2)² = 4.0.

Hint

Reversing inverts K; multiplying coefficients by n raises K to the power n.
