Question

One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron (II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and CO₂.

FeO (s) + CO (g) Fe (s) + CO₂ (g); K_p= 0.265 at 1050 K.

What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO₂ at 1050 K if the initial partial pressures are: p_CO = 1.4 atm and = 0.80 atm?

Solution

For the given reaction,

Since, the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.

Therefore, we can say that the pressure of CO will increase while the pressure of CO₂ will decrease.

Now, let the increase in pressure of CO = decrease in pressure of CO₂be p.

Then, we can write,

Therefore, equilibrium partial of

And, equilibrium partial pressure of
