Question

The value of Kc=4.24 at 800K for the reaction
CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)
Calculate equilibrium concentrations of CO2,H2,CO and H2O at 800K, if only CO and H2O are present initially at concentration of 0.10M each.

Solution

CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)
0.1 0.1
0.1x 0.1x x x
KC=4.24=[x][x][0.1x][0.1x]
x=0.067
equilibrium concentrations of
[CO2]=x=0.67[H2]=x=0.067
[CO]=0.1x=0.033[H2O]=0.1x=0.033
