Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that binds irreversibly to hemoglobin in our blood, causing suffocation and death. CO is formed during incomplete combustion of carbon. One way to represent this equilibrium is: CO(g)C(s) 1/2 O2(g) We could also write this reaction three other ways, listed below. The equilibrium constants for all of the reactions are related. Write the equilibrium constant for each new reaction in terms of K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction above.

The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that binds irreversibly to hemoglobin in our blood, causing suffocation and death. CO is formed during incomplete combustion of carbon. One way to represent this equilibrium is:

⇄

we could also write this reaction three other ways listed below. The equilibrium constant for all of the reactions are related. Write the equilibrium constant for each new reaction in terms of K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction above.

1) ⇄       K₁ =

2) ⇄    K₂ =

3) ⇄    K₃ =

1)

              2)

             3)

Explanation: A chemical reaction can be reversible, i.e., can proceed in both directions: to the right of the arrow (forward) or towards the left of the arrow (backward).

When the rates of forward and backward reactions are the same, the reaction is in equilibrium. In that state, we can determine the equilibrium constant, .

For the first way to represent equilibrium of CO formed, the is calculated

⇄

in which the symbol [ ] is concentration of the compound.

In equilibrium constant, solids are not included.

Equilibrium constants for the other reactions:

1) ⇄  

Comparing K₁ and K, the first one is the inverse of K, so writing in terms of K

2) ⇄

In terms of K, K₂ is

3) ⇄

This constant in terms of K will be

In conclusion, K₁, K₂ and K₃ in terms of K is , and , respectively.

distance, luminosity, brightness, radius, chemical composition, and temperature

im not exactly sure but i think its b!
