Question

When H2O and CO react at 979°C, the products are CO2 and H2. The equilibrium constant (in terms of equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products) for the reaction below is 0.66 at 979°C. If the following concentrations are measured after the reaction reaches equilibrium, what is the concentration of CO(g) in the equilibrated mixture? answer will be in M

Component: Measured Equilibrium Concentration
A. H2 0 (g) 0.750 M
B. CO2 (g) 0.134 M
C. H2 (g) 3.33 M

Answer 1

0.901 M

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of the CO(g) in the equilibrated mixture is shown below:

`K_C = (H_2* CO_2)/(CO* H_2O)`

where,

`K_C` = equilibrium constant

And, we placing these above values to the formula shown as above

So, the concentration of CO(g) is

`= (3.33 * 0.134)/(0.66* 0.750)`

=
`(0.44622)/(0.495)`

= 0.901 M

We simply applied the above formula in order to determine it and so that the correct answer could arrive
