At 1000 K, Kp = 19.9 for the reaction Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)?2Fe(s)+3CO2(g)
What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO2 if CO is the only gas present initially, at a partial pressure of 0.904atm ?
Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma.
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) <---> 2Fe(s)+ 3CO2(g)
Initial -------- 0,904atm ------ 0atm
Change ------- -X ------- +X
Equilibrium -------- 0,904-Xat ------ X
Kp= (PCO2)3/ (PCO)3 (Solids and liquids are not affected by pressure)
==> 9,19= X3/(0,904-X)3 (replace the patrial pressures in equilibrium and solve for X)
==> ?9,19 = X/0,904-X
==>2,7098(0,904-x) = X
==>2,4497 -3,7098X = 0
==>-3,7098X = -2,4497
==>X=-2,4497/-3,7098
==> X=0,6603
Pressure of CO in eqiulibrium =0,904-0,6603 ==> 0,2437atm
Pressure of CO2 in equilibrium = X ==> 0,6603atm
