Given the matrix \( A \), the determinant is calculated as:
\[ |A| = \frac{1}{5!6!7!} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 6 & 42 \\ 1 & 7 & 56 \\ 1 & 8 & 72 \end{vmatrix} \]
The row transformations are applied as follows:
First, perform the operation \( R_3 \to R_3 - R_2 \) and then \( R_2 \to R_2 - R_1 \), resulting in:
\[ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 8 & 42 \\ 0 & 1 & 14 \\ 0 & 1 & 16 \end{vmatrix} \]
The determinant of the modified matrix is:
\[ |A| = 2 \]
Next, the adjugate of the matrix \( 2A \) is calculated. The formula for the adjugate of a matrix \( A \) is given by:
\[ \text{adj}(2A) = 2A^{(n-1)^2} \]
For a \( 3 \times 3 \) matrix, \( n = 3 \), so the formula becomes:
\[ \text{adj}(2A) = 2A^4 \]
The determinant of the adjugate is calculated as:
\[ | \text{adj}(2A) | = 2 A^4 \]
Substituting the previously calculated determinant \( |A| = 2 \), we get:
\[ = (2^3 |A|)^4 = 2^{12} |A|^4 = 2^{12} \times 2^4 = 2^{16} \]
What will be the equilibrium constant of the given reaction carried out in a \(5 \,L\) vessel and having equilibrium amounts of \(A_2\) and \(A\) as \(0.5\) mole and \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) mole respectively?
The reaction : \(A_2 \rightleftharpoons 2A\)
