Question:
If the equilibrium constant for $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}$ is $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{eq}}^{(1)}$ and that of $\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P}$ is $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{eq}}^{(2)}$, the equilibrium constant for $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P}$ is :
Correct Option:
Solution:
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
$\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P}$
$K_{\mathrm{eq}}($ overall $)=K_{\mathrm{eq}}^{(1)} \cdot K_{\mathrm{eq}}^{(2)}$
