Question

Carbon monoxide in water gas, reacts with steam according to the reaction:
CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g);Keq=1.0
If three volumes of water gas (containing 1:2 of CO and H2) are mixed with 3 volumes of steam, then the volume ratio of the four gases present at equilibrium is

Solution

The correct option is B 1:5:1:5
CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g);

13021x3xx2+x

Keq=x(2+x)(1x)(3x)=1

x2+2x=34x+x2

x=0.5
Hence, the ratio for the gases, CO(g):H2O(g):CO2(g):H2(g)=0.5:2.5:0.5:2.5
Or 1:5:1:5
Option A is correct.
