NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ce003

For which of the following reactions is $K_{p} = K_{c}$ (at any temperature)?

A $N X_{2} (g) + 3 H X_{2} (g) 2 NH X_{3} (g)$
B $PCl X_{5} (g) PCl X_{3} (g) + Cl X_{2} (g)$
C $2 SO X_{2} (g) + O X_{2} (g) 2 SO X_{3} (g)$
D $H X_{2} (g) + I X_{2} (g) 2 HI (g)$

Answer: D

K_{p} = K_{c} (RT)^{Δ n_{g}}

, so

K_{p} = K_{c}

only if

Δ n_{g} = 0

. For

H X_{2} + I X_{2} 2 HI

,

Δ n_{g} = 2 - 2 = 0

. The other three have

Δ n_{g} = - 2, + 1, - 1

respectively.
