At 675K, H2(g) and CO2(g) react to form CO(g) and H2O(g), Kp for the reaction is 0.16. If a mixture of 0.25 mole of H2(g) and 0.25 mol of CO2 is heated at 675K, mole % of CO(g) in equilibrium mixture is:

Solution
The correct option is B14.28 We know that KP=KC(RT)Δn
here, Δn=nProduct−nreactant
=2−2=0
∴KP=KC
∴KC=0.16
H2+CO2⟶CO+H2O
t=00.250.2500
At eqm 0.25−x0.25−xxx
Total number of moles at eqm= 0.25−x+0.25−x+x+x=0.50
now, KC=[CO][H2O][H2][CO2]
⇒0.16=x2(0.25−x)2
⇒0.4=x0.25−x⇒x=14
∴ Moles of CO=14
∴ mole % of CO=moles of COtotal moles×1000=114×0.50×100=14.28
