Answer: Thus equilibrium partial pressure of CO is 1.306 atm
Explanation:
[tex]K_p[/tex] is the constant of a certain reaction at equilibrium.
For the given chemical reaction:
[tex]CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)[/tex]
at t=0 2.50 2.50 1.00 1.00
at em (2.50-x) (2.50-x) (1.00+x) (1.00+x)
The expression of [tex]K_p[/tex] for above equation follows:
[tex]K_p=\frac{(p_{CO_2})\times p_{H_2}}{p_{CO}\times p_{H_2O}}[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.0611=\frac{(1.00+x)\times (1.00+x)}{(2.50-x)\times (2.50-x)}[/tex]
[tex]x=0.306[/tex]
Thus equilibrium partial pressure of CO = (1.00+x) = (1.00+ 0.306) = 1.306 atm
