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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is Kp = P(CO) * (P(H2))^2. Given Kp and P(H2), solve for P(CO): P(CO) = Kp / (P(H2))^2 = 2.25 × 10^4 / (0.52)^2 = 1.6 × 10^-4 atm.
