Question

A vessel at 100K contains CO2 with a pressure of 0.5 atm. Some of the CO2 is converted into CO on addition of graphite, calculate the value of K, if total pressure at equilibrium is 0.8 atm.

Open in App
Solution

CO2+C2CO
Initial pressure, 0.5atm
Final pressure on addition of graphite CO2=5xCO=2x
total equilibrium pressure =0.5+x
but givenn =0.8atm
0.5+x=0.8atmx=0.3atm
K=[CO]2[CO2][C]=(2×0.3)20.3=1.2
