Question

Equilibrium constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ for the following equilibria:
a. $NO(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons NO_2(g)$
b. $2NO_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + O_2(g)$
Are related to each other as:

$K_1 = \sqrt{K_2}$

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

$K_1 = 2K_2$

$K_2 = \left(\frac{1}{K_1}\right)^2$
