For the system CO(g)+ H₂O(g) ⇌ CO₂(g)+ H₂(g) K is 1.6 at 900 K.If 0.400 atm CO(g)and 0.400 atm H₂O(g)are combined in a sealed flask,what is the equilibrium partial pressure of CO₂(g)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is:K = [CO2][H2]/[CO][H2O]Substituting the given values into the expression, we get:1.6 = [CO2][H2]/(0.400)(0.400)Solving for [CO2], we get:[CO2] = 0.256 atmTherefore, the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2(g) is 0.256 atm, which is closest to choice A, 0.22 atm.
