K = 1.51.5 x 10^2102

Explanation:

CO(g)CO(g) + 2H_2 (g)2H2(g)CH_3OH(g)CH3OH(g)
Kp = 2.262.26 x 10^4104

where K = 2.262.26 x 10^4104 at 298298 K.
If we were to divide the coefficients of above reaction equation by 22, we would get the following equation:

1/2 CO(g)12CO(g) + H_2 (g)H2(g)1/2 CH_3OH(g)12CH3OH(g)

Now K =[CH_3OH(g)]"^0.5[CH3OH(g)]0.5/[CO(g)^0.5CO(g)0.5]. [H_2 (g)H2(g)]

threfore
K= √(kp)...........................square root of Kp
K = √ (2.262.26 x 10^4104)
K = 150.33150.33
K = 1.51.5 x 10^2102
