The concentration equilibrium constant is calculated as:
Kc = [CO][H2]^2 / [CH3OH] = (0.44 M)(2.7 M)^2 / (0.20 M) = 16.038 M^2
The degree of the reaction is the sum of the product coefficients minus that of the reactants: n = 1 (CO) + 2 (H2) - 1 (CH3OH) = 2
Then the pressure equilibrium constant is calculated as:
Kp = Kc*(RT)^(n) = (16.038 M^2)*[(0.08206 atm/M-K)(673.15 K)]^(2) = 48,936.95 atm^2
Remember to use absolute temperature of 400+273.15 K, not the 400 C itself.
