Calculate the partial pressure of carbon monoxide from the following :
$C a C O_{3 (s)} Δ ⟶ {C a O}_{(s)} + {C O}_{2} ↑; K_{p} = 8 \times 10^{- 2}$
$C O_{2 (g)} C_{(s)} \to {2 C O}_{(g)}$ ; $K_{p} = 2$

Solution

The correct option is A 0.4
For reaction (i), $K_{p} = p_{C O_{2}} = 8 \times 10^{- 2}$
For reaction (ii) $K_{p} = \frac{P_{C O}^{2}}{P_{C O_{2}}} = 2$
$∴ 2 = \frac{P_{C O}^{2}}{8 \times 10^{- 2}}$ or $P_{C O} = 0.4$
