Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction,
CO2(g)+H2(g)CO(g)+H2O(g)

Solution

The correct option is A 0.15
CaO(s)+H2(g)Ca(s)+H2O(g);K1=60(1)
CaO(s)+CO(g)Ca(s)+CO2(g);K=400(2)
Now substracting the equation (2) from Equation (1), we get
CO2(g)+H2(g)CO(g)+H2O(g);K=?
The equilibrium constant (k) can be written as K=K1K2
=60400=0.15
