Consider the following reaction:
CO(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO2(g)+H2(g)
Kp=0.0611 at 2000 K
A reaction mixture initially contains a CO partial pressure of 1336
torr and a H2O partial pressure of 1764 torr at 2000
K.
Part A
Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2.
Part B
Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of H2.
CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌CO2(g) + H2(g)
I 1336 1764 0 0
C -x -x +x +x
E 1336-x 1764-x +x +x
Kp = PCO2 * PH2/[PCO *PH2O
0.0611 = x*x/(1336-x)(1764-x)
0.0611*(1336-x)(1764-x) = x^2
x = 303.53
PCO2 = x = 303.53torr
PH2 = x = 303.53 torr
