Solution

The correct option is C 1.03×105
The equilibrium reaction is CO2+H2CO+H2O.
The following table lists various quantities.

CO2, H2,
CO
, H2O
Initial moles:

Moles at equilibrium:

Total number of moles =1x+1x+x+x=2.
For CO, mole % is equal to volume %.
Thus x2×100=0.16 or x=0.0032.
As, Δn=0, Kc=Kp
=x2(1x)2
=(0.0032)2(10.0032)2
=1.03×105.
