Question

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction H2(g)+CO2(g)H2O(g)+CO(g) at 1395 K, if the equilibrium constants at 1395 K for following are:
2H2O(g)2H2+O2(g); K1=2.1×1013
2CO2(g)2CO(g)+O2(g); K2=1.4×1012.

Solution


For 2H2O(g)2H2(g)+O2(g); K1=[H2]2[O2][H2O]2....(1)
For 2CO2(g)2CO(g)+O2(g) K2=[CO]2[O2][CO2]2...(2)
For CO2(g)+H2(g)H2O(g)+CO(g) K=[H2O][CO][CO2][H2]...(3)
By dividing eq. (2) by eq. (1) :
K2K1=[CO]2[O2][CO2]2×[H2O]2[H2]2[O2]
K2K1=[CO]2[H2O]2[CO2]2[H2]2=K2 by Eq. (3)
or K=(K2K1)=(1.4×10122.1×1013)=2.58.
