Question

Consider the following gaseous equilibria with equilibrium constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively.
$SO_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons SO_3(g)$
$2SO_3(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_2(g) + O_2(g)$
The equilibrium constants are related as ..........

$2K_1 = K_2^2$

$K_1^2 = \frac{1}{K_2}$

$K_2^2 = \frac{1}{K_1}$

$K_2 = \frac{1}{K_1^2}$
