1.50L reaction vessel was initially filled with 0.150moles of CO and 0.300moles of H2. After equilibrium is established, the vessel is found to contain 0.119moles of CO. What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction? The reaction is: CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)
CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)
I 0.15 0.3 0
C -0.031 -2*0.031 0.031
E 0.119 0.238 0.031
[CO] = 0.119/1.5 = 0.079M
[H2} = 0.238/1.5 = 0.158M
[CH3OH] = 0.031/1.5 = 0.02 M
Kc = [CH3OH]/[CO][H2]2
= 0.02/0.079*(0.158)2 = 10.14 >>>> answer
