Consider the following reaction, equilibrium pressures, and equilibrium constant at a particular temperature. Determine the equilibrium pressure of CO. CO(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₃OH(l) K_p = 2.25 × 10⁴bar^-3
P(H₂) _eq = 0.52 bar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is Kp = 1/(P(CO) * (P(H2))^2). Solving for P(CO) using the given Kp and P(H2), we find P(CO) = 1/(Kp * (P(H2))^2) = 1/(2.25 × 10^4 * (0.52)^2) = 1.6 × 10^-4 bar.
