Expert Solution

For the given reaction CO2+ H2 -<--->H2O+CO

Kp = [PH2] [PCO]/ [PCO2] [PH2] =0.138, P indicates partial pressure

Let P= drop in partial pressure of CO2(or H2) to reach equilibrium

At equilibrium PH2= 1.36-P, PCO=1.36-P, PH2O= PCO= P

P2/1.36-P)2= 0.138, P/(1.36-P)= 0.37, P= 1.36*0.37-0.37P, 1.37P= 1.36*0.37, P= 0.37atm

At equilibrium PH2=PCO= 1.36-0.37= 0.99 atm and PH2O= PCO=0.37 atm

) 0.87 atm of CO2, 0.87 atm of H2 and 0.87 atm of H2O

CO2+ H2 ----àH2O+CO

At equilibrium PCO2= PH2= 0.87-x, PH2O= 0.87+x and PCO= x

Hence x*(0.87+x)/ (0.87-x)2= 0.138, when solved using excel, x= 0.088

At equilibrium PCO2= PH2=0.87-0.088=0.782, PH2O=0.87+0.088=0.958, PCO= 0.088 ( all in atm)

) 0.64 atm of H2O and 0.64 atm of CO.

1/Kp = [CO2] [H2]/[H2O][CO] = 1/0.138= 7.25 ( since only products are available)

PCO2=PH2= P , PH2O= PCO= 0.64-P

At equilibrium P2/(0.64-P)2= 7.25, P/(0.64-P)= 2.7, P= 0.64*2.7-2.7P, P= 0.64*2.7/3.7= 0.47

At equilibrijm PH2O= PCO=0.64-0.47= 0.17, PCO2= PH2=0.47
