Modifying Equilibrium Constant Expressions:

A. Changing stoichiometric coefficients:

1) 2SO2 + O2 2SO3 K1 =

1
2) SO2 + O2 SO3 K2 =
2
⇒ If we multiply an equation by a factor, we must raise its K to that power to get the new K.

B. Reversing the reaction:


3) 2SO3 2SO2 + O2 K3 =
⇒ K is the reciprocal of the K value for the reverse reaction.

C. Adding Equations for Multiple Equilibrium Reactions:

1. A + 2B C K1 =

2. A + D B K2 =

3. 2A + B + D C K3 =

⇒ When we add equations to get a new equation, the new K is the product of the other K’s.
Example. 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g) Kc = 1.7x1027
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) Kc = 1.5x102
Calculate the value of Kc for 4NH3(g) + 3O2(g) 2N2(g) + 6H2O(g)
