Determine whether a magnetic field can influence the value of an equilibrium constant. Consider the equilibrium 12(g) ;:=' 2 I(g) at 1000 K, and calculate the ratio of equilibrium constants K( 'B)/ K, where K( 'B) is the equilibrium constant when a magnetic field 'B is present and removes the degeneracy of the four states of the 2p3/2 level. Data on the species are given in Exercise 17.14a. The electronic g value of the atoms is 1-- Calculate the field required to change the equilibrium constant by 1 per cent.
