The correct answer is: K 2 K 3 3 K 1
N 2 +3 H 2 2NH 3

K 1 = NH 3 2 N 2 H 2 3 i

N 2 +O 2 2NO; K 2 = NO 2 N 2 O 2 ii

H 2 +1/2 O 2 H 2 O; K 3 = H 2 O H 2 O 2 1/2 iii

For the reaction, 2 NH 3 + 5 2 O 2 2 NO + 3 H 2 O

K = NO 2 H 2 O 3 NH 3 2 O 2 5 / 2

= NO 2 N 2 O 2 × H 2 O 3 H 2 3 O 2 3 / 2 × N 2 H 2 3 NH 3 2

= K 2 × K 3 3 K 1
