Consider the Two Gaseous Equilibria The Values of the Equilibrium Constants K₁ and K₂ Are

Consider the two gaseous equilibria: $\begin{array}{ll}\mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) +~^1/_2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \leftrightharpoons \mathrm{SO}_{3}(\mathrm{g}) & \mathrm{K}_{1} \\2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(\mathrm{g}) \leftrightharpoons \mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) +\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) & \mathrm{K}_{2}\end{array}$ The values of the equilibrium constants K₁ and K₂ are related by

A) K₂ = K₁²
B) K₂² = K₁
C) K₂ = 1/K₁²
D) K₂ = 1/K₁
E) none of these.
