Detailed Solution
2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)Equilibrium constant for this reaction,K=SO32SO22O2-----(i)SO3(g)⇌SO2(g)+12O2(g)Equilibrium constant for this reaction isK'=SO2O21/2SO3--------(ii)On squaring both sides in Eq. (ii), we haveK'2=SO22O2SO32=1K=1278( as K=278)K'=1278=0.003597=5.99×10-2 or ≈6.0×10-2
