Use the reactions below to predict the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2A(g)<->3D(g)

A(s)<->1/2B(g)+C(g) k1=0.0334

3D(g)<->B(g)+2C(g) k2=2.35

I know that you have to make modifications according to the stoichiometric coeffecients. So do I divide k1 by 2 and the multiply that by the inverse of 2.35 (which = 1/2.35 because the equation is reversed)?

I got this answer, is this correct?
0.0034/2=0.0167*(1/2.35)
=0.0071

is this correct?

If I understand what you did, I disagree with the answer. Dividing k1 by 2 means you have the reacton 1/2 A --> 1/4 B and that won't add up to anything.

I think what you want to do is to multiply equation 1 by 2 to give you
2A ==>B + 2C
Then reverse equation 2 to give
2C + B ==> 3D
--------------------
Then add those two equations to obtain
2A ==> 3D which is what the problem asked for.
So you want to square k1 and reverse k2, then multiply those.
Check me out on that.

To predict the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction 2A(g) ⇌ 3D(g) using the given reactions and their equilibrium constants (k1 and k2), you need to take into account the stoichiometric coefficients and manipulate the equations accordingly.

First, let's write the overall reaction using the given reactions and their stoichiometry coefficients:

2A(g) ⇌ 3D(g)

To determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction, you can use the relationship between equilibrium constants and the stoichiometry of the reactions involved:

K_overall = (K1)^n1 * (K2)^n2

Where n1 and n2 are the stoichiometric coefficients of the species involved in the overall equation.

In this case, for the forward reaction, the stoichiometric coefficients are:
- A: 2 (from the overall reaction)
- D: 3 (from k2)

For the reverse reaction, you need to consider the reverse stoichiometric coefficients:
- A: 2 (from the overall reaction)
- D: 3 (from k2)

Now, substitute the obtained values into the equation:

K_overall = (k1^2) * (k2^3)

Plugging in the values for k1 and k2:

K_overall = (0.0334^2) * (2.35^3)

Calculating this value will give you the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction.

Now, let's calculate the value using the given values:

K_overall = (0.0334^2) * (2.35^3) ≈ 0.0107

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction 2A(g) ⇌ 3D(g) using the given equilibrium constants k1 and k2 is approximately 0.0107.

It seems your calculation is incorrect. Please double-check your calculation to ensure accurate results.
