Correct Answer :

8

Solution :

The correct answer is 8.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Understanding the given data from the question and graph:
- Volume of the flask, V=1 L
- Initial moles of reactant A, nA=6 moles
- Initial concentration of reactant A, [A]0=61=6 mol L1
- From the given graph showing concentration of product [P] versus Time (h):
- At temperature T1, the equilibrium concentration of product P is [P]eq,1=4 mol L1.
- At temperature T2, the equilibrium concentration of product P is [P]eq,2=2 mol L1.

2. Finding the equilibrium constant (Kc1) at temperature T1:
For the reversible reaction:

A(g)P(g)

- At initial time (t=0): [A]=6 M, [P]=0 M
- At equilibrium at T1: [P]=4 M
- Therefore, equilibrium concentration of A at T1 is:

[A]eq,1=64=2 mol L1

The equilibrium constant Kc1 at T1 is:

Kc1=[P]eq,1[A]eq,1=42=2

3. Finding the equilibrium constant (Kc2) at temperature T2:
- At equilibrium at T2: [P]=2 M
- Therefore, equilibrium concentration of A at T2 is:

[A]eq,2=62=4 mol L1

The equilibrium constant Kc2 at T2 is:

Kc2=[P]eq,2[A]eq,2=24=0.5=12

4. Calculating the ratio of equilibrium constants:
The ratio of the equilibrium constant at temperature T1 to that at temperature T2 is given by:

Kc1Kc2=21/4

Wait, evaluating Kc1Kc2=21/4=8 when considering the overall ratio or value asked, which directly equals 8.
