Correct Answer: K 1 = 1/K 2


Solution : The correct option is K 1 = 1/K 2 .

For the chemical reactions: H 2 ​ + I 2 ​ ⇌ 2HI and 2HI ⇌ H 2 ​ + I 2​

The equilibrium constants are given as K 1​ and K 2 , respectively. When a reaction is reversed, the equilibrium constant becomes the reciprocal of the original constant. Mathematically, this relationship is expressed as follows: K 1 = 1/K 2 . So, the relationship between K 1​ and K 2 ​ for the given reactions is that K 2 ​ is the reciprocal of K 1 .
