Question

At 1127 K and 1 atm pressure, a gaseous mixture of CO and CO2 in equilibrium with solid carbon has 90.55% CO by mass

Calculate Kc for this reaction at the above temperature.

Open in App
Solution

Let the total mass of the gaseous mixture be 100 g.

Mass of CO = 90.55 g

And, mass of CO2 = (100 – 90.55) = 9.45 g

Now, number of moles of CO,

Number of moles of CO­2,

Partial pressure of CO,

Partial pressure of CO2,

For the given reaction,

Δn = 2 – 1 = 1

We know that,
